Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:7378853

• Allelic Composition: Dnm2^Rbc12/Dnm2⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: C57BL/6

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

hematopoietic system

microcytic anemia ( J:330452 )

• mice exhibit a mild microcytic anemia with reduced mean cellular hemoglobin but normal mean cell hemoglobin concentration and red cell distribution width

• however, red cell number and reticulocyte percentage, and leukocyte and platelet counts are unchanged, spleen size and architecture appear normal, and response to hemolytic anemia induced by treatment with phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is unchanged

abnormal proerythroblast morphology ( J:330452 )

• spleens contain a 2-fold increase in proerythroblasts

• however, erythroid progenitor numbers are unchanged

abnormal erythrocyte morphology ( J:330452 )

• peripheral blood smears are relatively normal, with occasional target cells

decreased hematocrit ( J:330452 )

decreased hemoglobin content ( J:330452 )

• reduction in mean cellular hemoglobin

decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin ( J:330452 )

• peripheral blood smears are relatively normal, with occasional hypochromic red cells

abnormal bone marrow cell physiology ( J:330452 )

• bone marrow cells from 10-week-old mice show a 50% reduction in transferrin uptake

• however, erythroid cells clear transferrin at a normal rate, suggesting that endosome recycling is unaffected

homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:330452 )

N • total iron biding capacity and serum levels of iron, ferritin, and transferrin are normal and all measures of iron stores are normal
