Values are means ± SEM. The age and numbers of mice of each genotype (+/+:+/−:−/−) assayed to determine the hematocrit values were as follows: 13.5 days postcoitus (dpc), 5:3:6; 14.5 dpc, 11:14:8; 15.5 dpc, 35:51:29; 16.5 dpc, 7:15:3; 17.5 dpc, 7:20:6; 18.5 dpc, 16:25:8; and newborn, 40:31:14. The percentages of nucleated blood cells and embryonic β chains were determined from 12:15:14 and 3:4:4 embryos, respectively, at 15.5 dpc.

L indicates lower; H, higher.
