neoplasm
• in 61% of mice visible unilateral retinoblastoma develop with delayed and variable kinetics appearing on average by 208 +/- 17 days relative to mice lacking Rbl2
• unlike mice lacking Rbl2, bilateral visible retinoblastomas are rare
• however, 3 of 11 retinas from mice with unilateral tumors in the opposite eye contain early retinoblastomas with mitotic figures and Homer-Wright rosettes
• at P60 4 of 14 eyes have retinoblastomas at level of the optic nerve head in the extreme periphery of the retina
|
vision/eye
• in 11 of 11 mice with unilateral tumors, the retina in the tumor free eye is disorganized and degenerated
• at P31 6 of 24 retinas have dysplastic lesions containing Homer-Wright rosettes at the level of the optic nerve in the extreme periphery and increased proliferation in the periphery without histological evidence of retinoblastoma
