with a powerful complementary approach to evaluate these candidates [85]. Kcnj9 (figure 8A) is expressed most heavily in neurons within the dentate gyrus, whereas Kcnj10 (figure 8B) is expressed diffusely in glial cells in all parts of the CNS. The seizure-related transcripts with trans-QTLs near Szs1 are most highly expressed in neurons, and all have comparatively high expression in the hippocampus. Furthermore, expression patterns of six of the seizure transcripts that map to Qrr1p show spatial correlations with Kcnj9. Dapk1 and Cacna1g (figure 8C) have expression pattern that match Kcnj9 with strong labeling in the dentate gyrus and CA1, and weaker labeling in CA2 and CA3. In contrast, Socs2 (figure 8D), Adora1, Pnpo, and Kcnma1 complement the expression of Kcnj9 with comparatively strong expression in CA2 and CA3, and weak expression in CA1 and dentate gyrus.
