strain_anatomy They have multiple cysts on the kidney. 628433
strain_life_disease This is a good model for clear cell type renal cell carcinoma (RC). RC can be observed at 4 weeks which develops into adenoma at 16 weeks. These have large carcinoma with frequent hemorrhages and necrosis. 628433
strain_phys_biochem About 4% ofthe rats had bilateral multicentric renal tubule tumors. Most of the atypical tumors were clear cell or mixed cell (clear/ acidophilic cell) type. 628433
