Abstract:
Provided is a method of using any mammal except humans, in particular, a mammal as an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder model, wherein genes of G protein-coupled receptor kinase interacting protein 1 (GIT1) as a neuronal synapse protein in the brain are knocked out from the mammal. In addition, disclosed is analysis of GIT1 knock-out mice in aspects of molecular biology, cellular biology, electrical biology and animal behavior and, more particularly, a screening method of novel drug, wherein excessive behavior as an attention deficit hyperactive disorder as well as recovery of theta wave in the frontal lobe are observed by administering a candidate material of the drug, thereby inducing recovery of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Abstract:
The following disclosure relates to a technology of genotyping a particular single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) having significant association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and using the SNP genotypes for predicting the risk of ADHD. The present invention relates to providing a method of predicting ADHD risk by identifying the nucleotide of rs5508181 SNP in GIT1, which is C or T at the 24926101st residue on human chromosome 17, and a linkage disequilibrium block harboring rs5508181. Further, the present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing ADHD risk, including a probe for detecting the SNP or a primer for amplifying the chromosomal region, and a diagnosing kit having the probe immobilized on a surface thereof. Therefore, the method, the composition and the kit for diagnosing ADHD risk according to the following disclosure are useful technologies that can conveniently classify risk groups for ADHD at high sensitivity.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometric method for sequencing nucleic acids using RNA polymerases, including DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, is provided. The methods use a modified Sanger sequencing strategy in which RNA polymerase is used to generate a set of nested RNA transcripts obtained by base-specific chain termination. These are analyzed by mass spectrometry. A method of identifying transcriptional terminator sequences or attenuator sequences is also provided.
