N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• males exhibited moribund signs (and were thus sacrificed) between 4 and 34 months of age
• females became moribund between 6 and 29 months of age

growth/size/body
• 8 of 142 mice carried pancreatic cysts, never observed in wild-type controls
• mice gained less body weight as they aged
• 19 of 142 mice that carried liver cysts also had kidney cysts of variable number and size
• incidence of kidney cysts was significantly higher than that in wild-type controls
• no kidney cysts were detected between 3 and 10 months of age
• 63 of 142 dissected moribund mice (>12 months of age) exhibited liver cysts of variable number and size
• all mice carrying kidney cysts or pancreatic cysts had liver cysts except one mouse
• no liver cysts were detected between 3 and 10 months of age

liver/biliary system
• 63 of 142 dissected moribund mice (>12 months of age) exhibited liver cysts of variable number and size
• all mice carrying kidney cysts or pancreatic cysts had liver cysts except one mouse
• no liver cysts were detected between 3 and 10 months of age

renal/urinary system
• 19 of 142 mice that carried liver cysts also had kidney cysts of variable number and size
• incidence of kidney cysts was significantly higher than that in wild-type controls
• no kidney cysts were detected between 3 and 10 months of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• 8 of 142 mice carried pancreatic cysts, never observed in wild-type controls

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice with polycystic livers showed no significant differences in plasma alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels relative to non-diseased mice or wild-type controls
