mortality/aging
• increased survival relative to Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes, 15.2 months on a 129 background and up to 17 months on a mixed background
|
neoplasm
• only about 62% develop pituitary tumors
• pituitary tumors are smaller than Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes but histologically indistinguishable
|
• fewer thyroid C-cell adenomas than in Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• only about 62% develop pituitary tumors
• pituitary tumors are smaller than Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes but histologically indistinguishable
|
• thyroid gland degeneration after 14 months of age
|
• fewer thyroid C-cell adenomas than in Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes
