growth/size/body

• with age, the ear margins show redness and thickening
• at 10 and 15 weeks of age
• nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver

• dermis shows thickening of connective tissue, increase in granulation tissue, and mononuclear cell infiltration
• skin lesions of the upper dorsal region and of the ears show inflammatory infiltrate (predominately neutrophils) in the epidermis with hyperkeratosis and acantosis

limbs/digits/tail
• redness and thickening of tails is seen after 8 months of age in some mutants

liver/biliary system
• livers of 74% of mutants show irregular margins, prominent vessels and increased vascularization at 4 months of age and by 12 months, 90% of mutants show these changes
• livers show prominent vessels and increased vascularization at 4-12 months of age
• sinusoidal dilatation
• nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver
• hyperplastic hepatocytes surrounded by atrophic hepatocytes in the adjacent parenchyma
