All alleles(20) : Targeted, knock-out(13) Targeted, other(4) Spontaneous(2) Chemically induced(1)
Mutations at this locus primarily affect the immune system, causing increased susceptibility to infection, failure to form splenic B-cell follicles, increased inflammation and impaired contact hypersensitivity. Homozygotes also may show metabolic defects.
