Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:5485416

• Allelic Composition: Pten^tm2.1Ppp/Pten^tm2.1Ppp; Tg(Dhh-cre)1Mejr/0
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S1/Sv * C57BL/6 * FVB/N * SJL

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:195067 )

• median survival age is 247 days compared to conditional Pten heterozygotes that have a median survival age of 415 days

nervous system

abnormal nervous system morphology ( J:195067 )

• mutants exhibit a similar peripheral nervous system phenotype as triple homozygous Pten^tm2.1Ppp Tg(Dhh-cre)1Mejr/0 Tg(Cnp-EGFR)10Nrat/0 mutants but with delayed latency and reduced tumor multiplicity

• 100% exhibit enlarged branchial plexi

• 10% exhibit enlarged sacral plexi

increased neurofibrosarcoma incidence ( J:195067 )

• enlarged peripheral nerves are low-grade peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs)

abnormal trigeminal nerve morphology ( J:195067 )

• 90% exhibit enlarged trigeminal nerves

abnormal sciatic nerve morphology ( J:195067 )

• 80% exhibit enlarged sciatic nerves

neoplasm

increased neurofibrosarcoma incidence ( J:195067 )

• enlarged peripheral nerves are low-grade peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs)
