Although the C3HeB/FeJ strain has a low incidence of SWD ( 18 , 31 ), in the present crosses there was a highly significant difference in the incidence of SWD between Scn8a 8J heterozygotes and their wild-type littermates, indicating a major gene effect of Scn8a 8J (Fig. 3 , G 3 × C3HeB/FeJ; P = 7.0 × 10 −5 ).
