Model organisms have been used in the study of WDR47 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Wdr47^{tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[9][10]} 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.^[11][12][13]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[7][14] Twenty-six tests were carried out on mutant mice and three significant abnormalities were observed.^[7] Homozygous mutant animals had an absence of corpus callosum and increased circulating alkaline phosphatase levels. Male homozygous mice also had abnormal indirect calorimetry measures.^[7]
