Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition for diagnosing risk of developing ADHD and a kit are provided to classify a risk group of developing ADHD and to prevent ADHA. CONSTITUTION: A composition for diagnosing ADHA contains a polynucleotide of rs550818 SNP in GIT gene having24926101th C/T base of 17th human chromosome. The composition contains likage disequilibrium site near the rs550818 SNP. A method for predicting risk of developing ADHD comprises: a step of isolating DNAs from a biological sample of a subject; a step of identifying the rs550818 SNP base at 24926101th base site in 17th human chromosome; and a step of determining high risk of developing ADHD in case that the rs550818 SNP allele is C/T.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A GIT1 gene deficient mouse and a drug screening method using the same are provided to analyze the reason of the attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and to decipher various kinds of anxiety disorders and diseases. CONSTITUTION: A drug screening method using a GIT1 gene deficient mouse is as follows. A therapeutic agent candidate material of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) of mammal except for the human is dosed. After the candidate material is administered, an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder test of mammal except for the human is performed. The candidate material causing the reduction of the attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder is selected.
