Abstract excerpt
The severity of many inherited disorders is influenced by genetic background. We describe a modifier interaction in C57BL/6Jmice that converts a chronic movement disorder into a lethal neurological disease. The primary mutation (medJ) changes a splice donor site of the sodium channel gene Scn8a (Nav1.6). The modifier mutation is characteristic of strain C57BL/6Jand introduces a nonsense codon into sodium channel...
