Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:5314411

• Allelic Composition: Tg(MECP2)1Hzo/0
• Genetic Background: either: (FVB/N x 129S6/SvEvTac)F1 or (FVB/N x C57BL/6J)F1

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

behavior/neurological

increased anxiety-related response ( J:181213 )

• mutants exhibit anxiety-like behavior in the elevated plus maze

• mutants spend less time in the lit compartment of the light/dark box compared to wild-type mice indicating anxiety-like behavior

abnormal social investigation ( J:181213 )

• mutants are less interested in their familiar or novel partner mice in the partition test for social interaction and recognition

• in the three-chamber test for sociability, mutants show a deficit in social approach behavior toward novel partner mice, without a deficit in interest toward a novel object or a deficit in activity or preference for either chamber

homeostasis/metabolism

abnormal corticosterone level ( J:181213 )

• stress-induced corticosterone levels are higher in mutants than wild-type mice
