| Genetic information | The Genista mutation C57BL/6-Gfi1Gen converted the cysteine (C) residue normally found at position 318 of the third zinc finger domain of Gfi1 into a tyrosine (Y), thereby disrupting the Cys2His2 structural motif that constitutes the core component of zinc finger domains. The C318Y substitution present in Genista mice had no impact on the levels of expression of the mutated Gfi1C318Y protein. |
| Phenotypic information | Viable mouse model of neutropenia that resulted from a point mutation in the Gfi1 gene. The Genista mice differed from mice homozygous from a null allele of Gfi1 in that they showed a normal survival rate and no weight loss, and did not require to be kept under long-term antibiotic treatment. Therefore, Genista mice constitute a particularly tractable model of neutropenia. |
| Breeding history | ENU mutagenesis conducted on a C57BL/6 background. Mice are generally bred with homozygotes. Males crossed to heterozygote females. |
