C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains differentially influence phenotype severity in the Scn1a+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome
16 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Summary Many disease‐relevant phenotypes modeled in inbred mice have been shown to be strain‐dependent, indicating the important influence of genetic background on disease phenotypes. Although C57BL/6 mice are one of the most commonly used inbred strains in laboratory research, there are multiple substrains (eg, B6J vs B6N) that have been separated for more than 50 years. Thus, understanding the substrain...
