Phenotypic Profile
Category Entity Quantity Experimental Paradigm Age at Testing
Motor phenotype Motor coordination and balance1
Increased
Description: Normal initial coordination with increased learning rate, compared to male littermate controls
Exp Paradigm: Accelerating rotarod, six trials 4 to 40 rpm in 300 s, six more trials 8 to 80 rpm in 300 s

Accelerating rotarod test 6 weeks
Motor phenotype Hyperactivity1
Increased
Description: Increased total distance traveled and increased number of ambulatory episodes, compared to male littermate controls, no change in speed
Exp Paradigm: Open field test, illuminated 60-minute session

Open field test 6 weeks
Repetitive behavior Stereotypy1
Increased
Description: Increased time spent ambulatory and performing stereotypic movements, increased number of wall jumps and abnormal bias in the direction of rotation during locomotion
Exp Paradigm: Open field test, illuminated 60-minute session

Open field test 6 weeks
Repetitive behavior Stereotypy1
Increased
Description: Increased force variance during periods of low mobility
Exp Paradigm: Force plate actometer assay, 25-minute sessions at similar time of day

Force plate actometer test 6 weeks
Repetitive behavior Perseveration1
Increased
Description: Increased repetitive behavior with training by observed reduction of variability of vertical location of each step, step length and time between steps, compared to male littermate controls
Exp Paradigm: Accelerating rotarod, first 30 s of trial 7 and trial 12 (8 to 80 rpm)

Accelerating rotarod test 6 weeks
Emotion Anxiety1 No change Open field test 6 weeks
