renal/urinary system
• kidney glomeruli are dilated probably due to obstruction from the amyloid in the lumen or walls of medullary tubules especially in the papilla

amyloidosis
(
J:174270
)
• some mutants older than 18 months exhibit amyloid deposits in the spleen and kidneys, and occasionally in the liver, ovary and/or heart
• amyloid is deposited concentrically in the perifollicular sheath, partly or completely encircling the follicles in the spleen
• in the liver, amyloid deposit is in the walls of sinusoids or central veins
• in the kidney, amyloid deposits are seen in the glomeruli
• amyloid deposits in the heart are not composed of amyloid-beta peptide, but rather amyloid A
