Novel degu Apoe (odApoe) mutation: whole-genome sequencing. (A) At position 213, there are three possible residues: glutamic acid (Glu: E), glutamine (Gln: Q), or lysine (Lys: K). Variants 1 and 2 are 213 E>Q and 213 E>K, respectively. The neighboring silent SNP was located 109 base pairs upstream of the missense variant (shown in pink). (B) The genotype frequency in 137 wild degu. (C) Allele association with AD-like pathology in degu. (D) There was a significant difference in the association of the variants E213K and 213 E>Q with AD-like burrowing behavior (Mann–Whitney U test, P < 0.001)
