The effect of background strain on the behavioral phenotypes of the <scp>MDGA2</scp><sup>+/−</sup> mouse model of autism spectrum disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The membrane‐associated mucin (MAM) domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 2 protein single knock‐out mice (MDGA2 +/− ) are models of ASD. We examined the behavioral phenotypes of male and female MDGA2 +/− and wildtype mice on C57BL6/NJ and C57BL6/N backgrounds at 2 months of age and measured MDGA2, neuroligin 1 and neuroligin 2 levels at 7 months. Mice on the C57BL6/NJ background performed better than those on the C57BL6/N background in visual ability and in learning and memory performance in the Morris water maze and differed in measures of motor behavior and anxiety. Mice with the MDGA2 +/− genotype differed from WT mice in motor, social and repetitive behavior and anxiety, but most of these effects involved interactions between MDGA2 +/− genotype and background strain. The background strain also influenced MDGA2 levels and NLGN2 association in MDGA2 +/− mice. Our findings emphasize the importance of the background strain used in studies of genetically modified mice.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
