Each cluster is subdivided according to disease and organ manifestation, respectively. Disease outcome (oc) of C1qKO mice compared to wt and/or C1q sufficient mice in the investigated disease model is given as “+” respectively turquoise =beneficial, “-” respectively ocher =detrimental, “=“ respectively grey=no effect. The overall outcome on the disease entity is similarly color coded using lighter shades for ambiguous group results. Genetic modifications other than C1qKO and genetic background other than C57BL/6 are listed explicitly. In studies with several C1q deficient mice, all C1q deficient mice are listed. Sex as indicated in the study (f=female only, m=male only, f/m=mixed gender); if not mentioned explicitly by the study, mixed gender was assumed. AD, Alzheimer’s disease; ALD, alcoholic liver disease; ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; AMD, age-related macular degeneration; APP, amyloid precursor protein; FLTD, frontotemporal lobar degeneration; GI I/R, gastrointestinal ischemia/reperfusion; H/I, hypoxia/ischemia; HAND HIV, associated neurocognitive disorder; I/R, Ischemia/reperfusion; MS, multiple sclerosis; NASH, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; n.s., not specified; OIBP, obesity induced brain pathology; PNS, peripheral nervous system; TBI, traumatic brain injury. *in the Glaucoma part of the study no C1qKO mouse model was used; the outcome classification relates to synapse elimination.
