Polymorphisms of mouse apolipoprotein A-11: seven alleles found among 41 inbred strains of mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In mice, apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) associates to form amyloid fibrils in an age-associated manner. We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the apoA-II gene (Apoa2) cDNA in 41 inbred strains of mice including Mus musculus domesticus (laboratory mouse), Mus musculus castaneus, Mus musculus molossinus, Mus musculus musculus and Mus spretus. Among these strains we identified 7 alleles (Apoa2a1, Apoa2a2, Apoa2b, Apoa2c, Apoa2d, Apoa2e and Apoa2f). Polymorphisms of nucleotides at 15 positions were detected and amino acid substitutions were found at 8 positions. Apoa2a1 was found in all mouse subspecies, but Apoa2b and Apoa2c were found only in Mus musculus domesticus. Two strains of Mus spretus have the unique alleles Apoa2e and Apoa2f which resemble Apoa2c. We confirmed that VICS in which we found severe amyloidosis here and other amyloidoneic strains in published reports have Apoa2c allele. We determined the plasma concentrations of total and HDL cholesterol in the strains of Mus musculus domesticus with the Apoa2a1, Apoa2b and Apoa2c alleles. Significantly higher concentrations of plasma cholesterol were observed in mouse strains with the Apoa2b allele. These findings provide fundamental data on mouse Apoa2 alleles. Furthermore, differences in these alleles likely have considerable influence on traits related to amyloidosis and lipid metabolism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
