Notes

Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markers

J:102036

The Authors carried out ten backcross generations in transferring the Scn2a^Q54 transgene onto the C57BL/6J background, thus creating congenic line C57BL/6J.Q54 (abbreviated B6.Q54).

Further the B6.Q54 congenic mice were crossed to strain SJL/J. Theresulting (SJL X B6)F1.Q54 offspring were abbreviated as F1.Q54. For mapping loci that modified epilepsy the F1.Q54 mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J. Categorical trait interval mapping with a genome wide scan provided evidence for the existence of twomodifier loci one on mouse Chromosomes 11 and another on mouse 19. Moe1 mapped with Chromosome 11 and showed a peak at 54 cM (95 Mb) and is significantly associated with D11Mit289. The mouse Chromosome 19 locus Moe2 shows a peak at 24 cM (31.3 Mb) andhas a significant association with D19Mit135
