neoplasm
|
• mice exhibit a decrease in tumors size compared to in Apctm1Mmt Smad4tm1Mmt homozygotes
• the ratio of small tumors is increased compared to in Apctm1Mmt Smad4tm1Mmt homozygotes
• however, mice exhibit the same tumor invasion depth and number of fibroblasts in tumor stroma as in Apctm1Mmt Smad4tm1Mmt homozygotes
|
|
• mice develop 50% fewer tumors than in Apctm1Mmt Smad4tm1Mmt homozygotes

|
mortality/aging
|
• most mutants become moribund before 14-20 weeks and often die of intussusception of the small intestine
|
neoplasm
|
• polyps in small and large intestine develop into malignant adenocarcinomas, beginning at about 14 weeks
|
|
• adenocarcinomas found in ampullary region of the pancreatic duct, incomplete penetrance
|
integument
|
• in 53% of mice older than 10 weeks, skin epidermoid cysts found in left axillary region and/or ventral side of the neck
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• adenocarcinomas found in ampullary region of the pancreatic duct, incomplete penetrance
