The autism diagnosis in translation: shared affect in children and mouse models of ASD

Abstract

In the absence of molecular biomarkers that can be used to diagnose ASD, current diagnostic tools depend upon clinical assessments of behavior. Research efforts with human subjects have successfully utilized standardized diagnostic instruments, which include clinician interviews with parents and direct observation of the children themselves [Risi et al.,2006]. However, because clinical instruments are semi‐structured and rely heavily on dynamic social processes and clinical skill, scores from these measures do not necessarily lend themselves directly to experimental investigations into the causes of ASD. Studies of the neurobiology of autism require experimental animal models. Mice are particularly useful for elucidating genetic and toxicological contributions to impairments in social function [Halladay et al.,2009]. Behavioral tests have been developed that are relevant to autism [Crawley,2004,2007], including measures of repetitive behaviors [Lewis, Tanimura, Lee, & Bodfish,2007; Moy et al.,2008], social behavior [Brodkin,2007; Lijam et al.,1997; Moretti, Bouwknecht, Teague, Paylor, & Zoghbi,2005], and vocal communication [D'Amato et al., 2005; Panksepp et al.,2007; Scattoni et al., 2008]. Advances also include development of high‐throughput measures of mouse sociability that can be used to reliably compare inbred mouse strains [Moy et al.,2008; Nadler et al.,2004], as well as measures of social reward [Panksepp & Lahvis,2007] and empathy [Chen, Panksepp, & Lahvis,2009; Langford et al.,2006]. With continued generation of mouse gene‐targeted mice that are directly relevant to genetic linkages in ASD, there remains an urgent need to utilize a full suite of mouse behavioral tests that allows for a comprehensive assessment of the spectrum of social difficulties relevant to ASD. Using impairments in shared affect as an example, this paper explores potential avenues for collaboration between clinical and basic scientists, within an amply considered translational framework.Autism Res2011,4:317–335. © 2011 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
