Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of ARHGAP25 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Arhgap25tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi 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.

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty one tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: abnormal retina morphology and pigmentation.
