Abstract

Mice completely deficient for Dvl1, one of three mouse homologs of the Drosophila segment polarity gene Dishevelled, were created by gene targeting. Dvl1-deficient mice are viable, fertile, and structurally normal. Surprisingly, these mice exhibited reduced social interaction, including differences in whisker trimming, deficits in nest-building, less huddling contact during home cage sleeping, and subordinate responses in a social dominance test. Sensorimotor gating was abnormal, as measured by deficits in prepulse inhibition of acoustic and tactile startle. Thus, Dvl1 mutants may provide a model for aspects of several human psychiatric disorders. These results are consistent with an interpretation that common genetic mechanisms underlie abnormal social behavior and sensorimotor gating deficits and implicate Dvl1 in processes underlying complex behaviors.

  • Observational findings in some of these behavioral domains have been reported in some targeted gene mutations, e.g. deficits in social interaction within the home cage have been reported for mice deficient in the dishevelled-1 gene or the NMDA NR1 subunit.

    “Observational findings in some of these behavioral domains have been reported in some targeted gene mutations, e.g.deficits in social interaction within the home cage have been reported for mice deficient in the dishevelled-1 gene (Lijam et al. 1997) or the NMDA NR1 subunit (Mohn et al. 1999).”
  • Dishevelled (DVL), which inhibits the destruction complex, was knocked out in the first mouse model of social dysfunction.

    “Dishevelled (DVL), which inhibits the destruction complex, was knocked out in the first mouse model of social dysfunction (Lijam et al., 1997), an early predecessor to more recent findings connecting Wnt related signaling molecules to ASD (De Ferrari and Moon, 2006; O'Roak et al., 2012a; Parikshak et al., 2013).”

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.
