nervous system
N |
• mice with a maternally (matDp/+) and paternally (patDp/+) inherited duplication bred normally and were fertile
• nosignificant abnormality was detected in H&E-stained sections of the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, corpus callosum, and cerebellum either macroscopically or at the microscopic level
• no anatomical nor functional defects are found of the olfactory system in paternally inherited duplication bred mice
|
growth/size/body
• the patDp/+ male mice began to show an increase in body weight compared to wild-type (WT) mice after 15 weeks, and the body weight of patDp/+ was significantly greater than that of the WT after 20 weeks
|
cellular
• maternal and paternal allele-specific methylation is conserved in the mice with the duplicated allele
|
behavior/neurological
• patDp/+ mice showed higher freezing scores in the altered contextual environment than did the WT controls
|
• the patDp/+ mice show increased anxiety
|
• the patDp/+ mice show a generalized fear
|
• the patDp/+ mice show increased acoustic startle responce for 110-dB stimulus but not for 12-dB
|
• the patDp/+ mice show increased time for latency to fall on rotarod test
|
• in mice with a paternally inherited duplication in a three-chamber social interaction test
• patDp/+ mice do not respond as flexibly as WT and matDp/+ mice to a change in situation
• no impariment in spatial learning in patDp/+ mice
|
• ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) of neonatal mice that were separated from their dams are abnormal amoung patDp/+ mice
• the total number of vocalizations ranging from both audible and ultrasonic bands emitted by pairs of patDp/+ mice was significantly decreased compared with that of a WT pair
