renal/urinary system
|
• mice exhibit unilateral urinary tract abnormalities, including short ureter, megaureter, and hydronephrosis
|
kidney cyst
(
J:125214
)
|
• kidney parenchyma is replaced by large cysts
|
|
• ureterovesical junctions associated with obstructions lead to megaureter and hydronephrosis
|
|
• in some males the ureter is connected to the vas deferens resulting in massive hydronephrosis
|
large ureter
(
J:125214
)
|
• ureterovesical junctions associated with obstructions lead to megaureter and hydronephrosis
|
short ureter
(
J:125214
)
|
• 7 of 10 mice exhibit bilateral ureterovesical junction defects, where one UVJ is typically located laterally and cephalad in the bladder (commonly associated with reflux in man) whereas the contralateral UVJ is located caudad in the bladder or even ectopically in the urethra
|
|
• the caudal UVJ location is associated with obstruction, leading to megaureter and severe hydronephrosis
|
reproductive system
|
|
• in some males the ureter is connected to the vas deferens resulting in massive hydronephrosis
