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

hematopoietic system

decreased hematocrit ( J:211331 )

• following phlebotomy, 12 week old mice show lower hematocrit levels compared to wild-type mice

decreased hemoglobin content ( J:211331 )

• mildly lower hemoglobin concentration at 6 weeks of age

• following phlebotomy, 12 week old mice show lower hemoglobin concentrations

• however, hematological parameters are normal at 3, 12, and 24 weeks of age and liver iron or hepcidin concentrations and spleen iron content are normal

decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin ( J:211331 )

• following phlebotomy, 12 week old mice show lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin levels

decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration ( J:211331 )

• mildly lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration at 6 weeks of age

decreased mean corpuscular volume ( J:211331 )

• mice exhibit an insignificant trend toward lower mean corpuscular volume at 6, 12, and 24 week of age, however following phlebotomy, 12 week old mice show a significant decrease in mean corpuscular volume

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased circulating iron level ( J:211331 )

• mice exhibit an insignificant trend toward lower serum iron levels at 6, 12, and 24 weeks of age, however after phlebotomy, mice show serum iron concentrations significantly lower than at baseline at all time points examined

increased susceptibility to injury ( J:211331 )

• recovery of 12 week old mice from hemorrhage-induced anemia (phlebotomy) is delayed by several days

liver/biliary system

abnormal liver physiology ( J:211331 )

• 6 week old mice fail to suppress hepatic expression of hepcidin mRNA in response to phlebotomy as seen in wild-type mice

• however, erythroblast differentiation is normal after phlebotomy
