The answer is genetic diseases. Knockout mice are laboratory mice that have been genetically modified to have a specific gene disrupted or "knocked out." This allows researchers to study the function of these genes and how their absence affects the organism. Knockout mice have been used to study a wide range of genetic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, obesity, and neurological disorders.
