Mouse model of human 15q11–13 duplication B6.129S7-Dp(7Herc2-Mkrn3)1Taku (RBRC05954)

| A common feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is neurodevelopmental impairment, which is characterized by difficulties with social interactions and communication and by repetitive or rigid behavior. In the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, three subgroups (autism, Asperger syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified) were merged into the single term of ASD [1, 2].
Among a variety of copy number variations found in ASD patients, duplication of 15q11–13 has been reported most frequently. This is also an imprinting region where deletions or methylation abnormalities lead to Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, or ASD. A mouse model of human 15q11–13 duplication was generated by chromosomal engineering based on the Cre-loxP system and has a 6.3-Mb duplicated locus in chromosome 7c, which is highly similar to human 15q11–13 [3]. Mice carrying a paternally inherited duplication (patDp/+ mice) display autistic phenotypes such as decreased sociability, behavioral inflexibility, decreased spontaneous activity, and increased anxiety [3–7]. |
