“…The term “modifier gene” defines genetic variants which alter the phenotypic outcome of an independent locus, but which have no phenotypic consequence of their own [ 19 , 20 ]. Strain-specific morphological, physiological, and behavioural differences are well recognised, but the mechanisms underlying inter-strain variation and the causative modifier loci remain largely uncharacterised due to technical and practical limitations.…”

“…Mutations may be hypomorphic, gain or loss of function or even silent in the absence of an inducer or stressor. Phenotypic variability due to strain-specific variants in the mouse experimental genetic background can contribute to conflicting results when the data is inferred at the gene level ( Perry et al 2020 ). Genetic sex, microbiota, and parental origin (imprinting) can also influence phenotypes.…”
