| Gene Affected |
Scn1a: sodium channel, voltage-gated, type I, alpha |
| Origin |
This strain was established by ENU mutagenesis (gene-driven). This strain possesses a point mutation in the Scn1a gene (N1417H) (Mashimo, 2010). Hyperthermia-induced seizure-susceptible (Hiss) rat. (May 26, 2010) |
| Strain characteristics |
A point mutation in Scn1a gene.
This strain possesses a missense mutation (N1417H) in the third pore region of the sodium channel, Scn1a. Despite their normal appearance under ordinary circumstances, Scn1a mutant rats exhibited remarkably high susceptibility to hyperthermia-induced seizures. Scn1a is a causative gene for human GEFS+. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that hyperthermic seizures induced a widespread elevation of Fos-immunoreactivity in the cerebral cortices and limbic regions (Ohno, 2010). This rat showed a significantly lower threshold in epileptiform discharges in response to local stimulation of the hippocampus. Diazepam and sodium valproate are effective to hyperthermic seizure of this rat (Ohno, 2010). (Oct 11, 2010) |
