| Genetic information | In frame deletion at level of the DNA dimerization domain of the rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene. This mutation was described in Ponce de León et al. 2014 as the 5.5, -309 bp deletion and consists of the deletion of the whole second zinc finger domain (G470-E508). The purpose of this line is to assess the function of GR monomers in vivo. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:lethalHeterozygous:The heterozygous mutant rats are viable and fertile and do not present any major macroscopic defects. GR+/em4 display adrenal gland hyperplasia and glucocorticoid excess similar to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome. |
| Breeding history | generated in 2013, on going |
