WBC, white blood cell count; RBC, red blood cell count; PLT, platelet count; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
22-week-old mice were tested. No. per genotype and sex: n = 8–10. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of mean. Student’s t-test vs. heterozygous mutants as controls: aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01, cP < 0.001.
