Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Coloboma mouse carries a ∼2 cM deletion encompassing the SNAP25 gene and has a hyperactive phenotype similar to that of ADHD. Such mice are 3 fold more active compared to their control littermates. Genetic association studies support a role for allelic variants of the human SNAP25 gene in predisposing to ADHD. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We performed association analysis across the SNAP25 gene in...
