Germline biallelic loss of Bcl11a leads to perinatal lethality. Bcl11a +/- mice have a significantly decreased brain volume, affecting both gray and white matter. The limbic system (hippocampus and amygdala) is among the brain regions that are more severely affected. Bcl11a +/- mice display normal novelty-seeking behavior but show long-term social memory defects, impaired sociability, and increased physical activity. Bcl11a +/- mice show dynamic postnatal transcriptional dysregulation in the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27453576}. |
