Chromosomal Mapping of Genetic Loci Controlling Absence Epilepsy Phenotypes in the WAG/Rij Rat

Abstract

The independent genetic control of type I and type II SWDs underlines the complexity of the molecular mechanisms participating in SWDs. The identification of these genetic loci represents an important step in our fundamental knowledge of the architecture of SWDs and may provide new insights for resolving the genetic heterogeneity of absence epilepsy.
