endocrine/exocrine glands

abnormal thyroid gland morphology ( J:197590 )

• altered thyroid structure with normal areas that include colloid-filled follicles and normal areas with focal hyperplasia, polynuclear cells, small nonencapsulated areas of hypercellularity with solid and/or mircofollicular patterns and internal hemorrhage

increased thyroid tumor incidence ( J:197590 )

• 100% of mutants develop differentiated follicular tumors of the thyroid after about 2 years of age

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased thyroxine level ( J:197590 )

• P14 mutants show a mild decrease of T4 but normal TSH

neoplasm

increased thyroid tumor incidence ( J:197590 )

• 100% of mutants develop differentiated follicular tumors of the thyroid after about 2 years of age
