Inbred Strains of Mice: SWXL

SWXL-

Inbr. ?. Set of 7 recombinant inbred strains maintained at the Jackson Laboratory.

SWXL-4 mice exhibit tonic-clonic and generalised seizures similar to the commonest epilepsy in humans. Seizures are observed in routine handling from about 80 days of age, and are due to a dominant gene Szf1 on chromosome 7 which accounts for about 32% of the variation in susceptibility (Frankel et al, 1994).
