Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of TWF1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Twf1tm1a(EUCOMM)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 — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.

Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice, nut no significant abnormalities were observed.
