Automated full blood analyses were obtained on 69 wt and 72 Ank-1^MRI23420 mice at 7 weeks of age. Values are represented as mean value ±SEM. Statistical differences are indicated as (*) p-value <0.05 and (**) p-value<0.001. WBC indicates white blood cell count; RBC, red blood cell count; HBG, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width; PLT, platelet count; and %Retic, %Reticulocytosis.
