Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by congenital malfunction, bone marrow failure and hypersensitivity to DNA damage. FANCD2 protein play the central role in FA pathway. To study the in vivo role of FANCD2, we generated and characterized a newFancd2knockout mouse strain with 7bp deletion inFancd2gene 5’ terminus using Crispr-Cas9 in congenic C57BL/6J background. ThisFancd2−/−mice displayed similar but overall more severe manifestation than the previous ES cell targetedFancd2model. These features include increased embryonic and postnatal lethality rate, higher incidence of microphthalmia, and more severe hypogonadism. The anemia we observed in thisFancd2−/−mice has not been described in other FA models. Further study indicated that the hematopoiesis deficiency was associated with increased apoptotic cell death, G2/M phase arrest and hypersensitivity to MMC and IR damage ofFancd2−/−bone marrow progenitor cells. Collectively, the resultingFancd2−/−mice with higher resemblance of FA patient symptoms, will be useful in understand the parthenogenesis of pancytopenia and bone marrow failure in FA.
