Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed an association between the Ahr locus on Chr 12 and a major gene, Asp1, that influences susceptibility to audiogenic seizures (AGS) in mice. Although the association was thought to involve close linkage, a pleiotropic effect of the Ahr locus on AGS susceptibility was not excluded. Two congenic strains, D2.B6N-Asp1b and the D2N.B6N-Ahrb1, were used to evaluate further the association between...
