Alleles and phenotypes

All alleles(16) : Targeted(12) Gene trapped(4)
 

Mutation of this gene affects iron metabolism. Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit increased intestinal iron absorption and an elevated hepatic iron load but reduced duodenal iron stores. Heterozygotes also accumulate more iron than normal.
