Model organisms

[edit]

Model organisms have been used in the study of RDH16 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rdh16tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[1][2] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[3][4][5]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[6][7]

Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice, but no significant abnormalities were observed.[6]
