and
phenotypes
All alleles(4) : Targeted, knock-out(1) Targeted, other(2) Spontaneous(1)
Homozygous null mutants develop adult onset autoimmune disease, with 50% mortality by 9 weeks due to hemolytic anemia. Survivors develop inflammatory bowl disease/colitis. Immune system dysregulation and CD4+ T-cell overproduction may be responsible.
