mortality/aging
• sudden death is frequently seen
|
neoplasm
• mice exhibit enlarged ovarian tumors compared to single Kit homozygous mutants
• in aged mice, large ovarian tumors develop, infiltrate, and occupy the entire para- and meso-ovarian regions
|
• ovarian tubular adenomas are bilateral
• ovaries have a tumor phenotype that is more prominent than the tubular adenomas of the double homozygous ovaries
• papillary ovarian tubular adenomas from 8 month old mice have CK8+ epithelial cells infiltrating the entire ovary, the bursa and surrounding areas and resemble ovarian cancer or severe ovarian surface papillomatosis
• however, the epithelial lesions of ovarian tumors are benign
• tumor mass is largely epithelial and contains a minor 10% of less of granulosa cells

endocrine/exocrine glands

|
• ovarian epithelial cells show enhanced cell proliferation in culture compared to single homozygous Kit mutants
