mortality/aging
• about 8% of mice die by 2 months of age

neoplasm
• at 3 to 5 months, 18 of 18 surviving mice developed multiple tumors (3 to 5 per mouse) compared to over 100 control mice who did not develop tumors at more than 1 year of age
• however, mice that died prior to 2 months of age did not have tumors and did not die from tumor-related causes
• most tumors are located within the skeletal muscle in the limbs and intercostals regions with some non-skeletal muscle tissues (such as the cerebellum) harboring tumors
• tumors are vascularized, hemorrhagic and cystic spaces are detected in large tumors
• synovial sarcomas are detected with monophasic (13) outnumbering biphasic (3)
• myxoid and fibrous changes are observed

growth/size/body
• about 8% of mice are born small
