Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:3720700

• Allelic Composition: Tg(APPSWE)2576Kha/0
• Genetic Background: involves: C57BL/6 * DBA/2 * SJL * SW

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

nervous system

amyloid beta deposits ( J:100965 )

• mice display amyloid plaques as early as 6 months, but do become numerous only in older mice (8.5 to 15 months)

• deposits contain both Abeta1-40 and Abeta1-42 peptides

renal/urinary system

abnormal renal glomerulus morphology ( J:174270 )

• kidney glomeruli are dilated probably due to obstruction from the amyloid in the lumen or walls of medullary tubules especially in the papilla

homeostasis/metabolism

amyloidosis ( J:174270 )

• some mutants older than 18 months exhibit amyloid deposits in the spleen, kidneys, liver, ovary and/or heart

• amyloid is deposited concentrically in the perifollicular sheath, partly or completely encircling the follicles in the spleen

• amyloid replaces most of the splenic red pulp

• in the liver, amyloid deposit is in the walls of sinusoids or central veins

• in the kidney, amyloid deposits are seen in the glomeruli

• amyloid deposits in the heart are not composed of amyloid-beta peptide, but rather amyloid A

amyloid beta deposits ( J:100965 )

• mice display amyloid plaques as early as 6 months, but do become numerous only in older mice (8.5 to 15 months)

• deposits contain both Abeta1-40 and Abeta1-42 peptides
