Hematocrit value and platelet number were examined routinely for the GATA-1.05 heterozygous mice. Numbers of megakaryocytes were determined by biopsy. Biopsy of overtly healthy GATA-1.05heterozygous mutant females was performed on a group of 11 young mice of 8 to 12 weeks of age. Six wild-type littermates were used as the control.

Abbreviation: ND, not determined.

F0-150

P < .001.

F0-151

P < .05.

F0-152

Mice analyzed at 20 weeks after birth that showed marked anemia upon routine hematological examination. Numbers of megakaryocytes in these mice were determined upon necropsy.
