Abstract: A fuel tank ventilation valve includes a float valve, a float control mechanism, and a barrier member. The float valve includes a float and a float chamber. The float chamber is provided by a case. The float control mechanism controls the area of a fuel opening so that a fuel outflow speed from the float chamber is slower than a fuel inflow speed into the float chamber. The barrier member is located between an opening for a ventilation passage and the float. The barrier member suppresses fuel intrusion. The fuel tank ventilation valve is capable of preventing an outflow of a liquid component.

Abstract: Amplification primers, sequencing primers, kits for screening, and screening methods for identifying a SLC6A8 creatine transporter gene mutation are disclosed. The screening method includes treating a sample of DNA with polymerase chain reaction amplification primers for amplifying regions of the DNA having SLC6A8 to produce a first, second, and third amplification product, sequencing the first, second, and third amplification products with sequencing primer pairs to provide a DNA sequence of SLC6A8 in the sample, and comparing the DNA sequence of SLC6A8 with a reference DNA sequence of SLC6A8.
