mortality/aging
|
• with increasing age (>12 months), Ptch1-heterozygous, Ptch2-sufficient mice are less healthy and die with no obvious tumor burden
|
|
• median survival of mutants that only develop medulloblastoma is 158 days
|
neoplasm
|
• 14.3% of mutants develop other tumors, including hemangiosarcomas, intestinal tumors, rhabdomyosarcomas, and lymphomas
|
|
• 42.8% of mutants develop medulloblastoma
• medulloblastomas are noninvasive and exhibit histologic patterns that mimic different phenotypes seen in human medulloblastoma, including classic biphasic phenotype and anaplastic variants

digestive/alimentary system
muscle
nervous system
|
• 42.8% of mutants develop medulloblastoma
• medulloblastomas are noninvasive and exhibit histologic patterns that mimic different phenotypes seen in human medulloblastoma, including classic biphasic phenotype and anaplastic variants
|
|
• 1 month old cerebella show preneoplastic lesions in the outer molecular layer where progenitors within the external germinal layer previously resided, suggesting that medulloblastomas arise from granule neuron progenitors
