rat aneuploid smooth muscle cells

Hi All,

I have an unusual situation. I have been looking at a range of congenic
rats and have found that the vascular smooth muscle cells seem to be
aneuploid. The profile is normal at the 1N and there is a leak about
1.2N and a large spread at G2M (maybe 2 populations). I have ran a large
number of tumor samples in the past and this profile shows great
similarity to a number of them. The rats are otherwise normal apart from
this unusual DNA profile . Has anyone any idea what could be reason for
this unusual DNA profile?

Best wishes

James
