Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:3770516

• Allelic Composition: Kras^tm3Tyj/Kras⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: mean age at death is ~200 days

neoplasm

increased tumor incidence ( J:68981 )

• all animals at time of death/sacrifice have extensive tumor burden

• mice display a more rapid tumor phenotype than Kras^tm2Tyj heterozygotes

increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to thymic lymphomas (seen in ~40% of animals)

increased skin papilloma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to skin papillomas (seen in ~20% of animals); tumors typically arising on ears and snout are predominantly pedunculated and show limited tendency to progress to squamous cell carcinoma

increased lung tumor incidence ( J:68981 )

• 100% of animals show multifocal tumors at time of death/sacrifice

• tumors are detectable at 1 week of age as small pleural nodules; multiplicity and size of tumors increases with age, and ultimately result in respiratory distress and death

• tumors range from mild hyperplasia/dysplasia to overt carcinoma; small lesions consist of hyperplastic alveolar epithelium

• in older mice, infrequent metastases to thoracic lymph nodes, the kidney and other visceral organs

increased lung adenoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• as lesions enlarge, they form small alveolar adenomas; some show areas of glandular differentiation

increased lung adenocarcinoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• 5-10% of tumors have features of well-differentiated human papillary adenocarcinoma

digestive/alimentary system

abnormal large intestine crypts of Lieberkuhn morphology ( J:68981 )

• mutants have multiple aberrant crypt foci (ACF) of the colon

endocrine/exocrine glands

abnormal large intestine crypts of Lieberkuhn morphology ( J:68981 )

• mutants have multiple aberrant crypt foci (ACF) of the colon

increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to thymic lymphomas (seen in ~40% of animals)

integument

increased skin papilloma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to skin papillomas (seen in ~20% of animals); tumors typically arising on ears and snout are predominantly pedunculated and show limited tendency to progress to squamous cell carcinoma

respiratory system

increased lung tumor incidence ( J:68981 )

• 100% of animals show multifocal tumors at time of death/sacrifice

• tumors are detectable at 1 week of age as small pleural nodules; multiplicity and size of tumors increases with age, and ultimately result in respiratory distress and death

• tumors range from mild hyperplasia/dysplasia to overt carcinoma; small lesions consist of hyperplastic alveolar epithelium

• in older mice, infrequent metastases to thoracic lymph nodes, the kidney and other visceral organs

increased lung adenoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• as lesions enlarge, they form small alveolar adenomas; some show areas of glandular differentiation

increased lung adenocarcinoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• 5-10% of tumors have features of well-differentiated human papillary adenocarcinoma

immune system

increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to thymic lymphomas (seen in ~40% of animals)

hematopoietic system

increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence ( J:68981 )

• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to thymic lymphomas (seen in ~40% of animals)
