endocrine/exocrine glands
• at 1 year, the anterior prostate of heterozygotes exhibits epithelial hyperplasia of reduced severity relative to homozygotes
• at 1 year, the anterior prostate of heterozygotes exhibits epithelial dysplasia of reduced severity relative to homozygotes
• in addition, heterozygous dorsolateral prostates display a mild dysplasia relative to wild-type
• adult heterozygotes exhibit progressive prostate epithelial hyperplasia of reduced severity relative to homozygotes
• at 6 weeks, heterozygotes exhibit a 4.5-fold increase in epithelial cell proliferation in the anterior prostate relative to wild-type mice
• adult heterozygotes show a significant reduction or loss of major secretory proteins in ventral prostate secretions
