| Genetic information | Deletion at level of the DNA dimerization domain of the rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene. This mutation was described in Ponce de León et al. 2014 as the 11.4, -6 bp deletion and consists of a 7 bp deletion leading to an out-of-frame deletion causing absence of the GR protein product. This mutation leads to a formal GR knockout. The purpose of this line is to assess the function of GR monomers in vivo. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:lethalHeterozygous:adrenal gland hyperplasia and glucocorticoid excess similar to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome. Hypertension under high salt diet. |
