Abstract
AbstractPreclinical models of neurodevelopmental disorders typically use single inbred strains which fail to capture human genetic and symptom heterogeneity that is common clinically. We tested if systematically modeling human genetic diversity in mouse genetic reference panels would recapitulate population and individual differences in responses to a syndromic mutation in the high-confidence autism risk gene, CHD8. Trait disruptions mimicked those seen in human populations, including high penetrance of macrocephaly and disrupted behavior, but with robust strain and sex differences. For every trait, some strains exhibited a range of large effect size disruptions, sometimes in opposite directions, and remarkably others expressed resilience. Thus, systematically introducing genetic diversity into mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders provides a better framework for discovering individual differences in symptom etiologies and improved treatments.One-Sentence SummaryAutism trait heterogeneity due to a syndromic gene mutation is recapitulated in mice by incorporating genetic diversity.
