Abstract: The present invention provides a canine glaucoma-susceptibility gene and a method of using the gene. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed and compared in glaucomatous dogs and normal dogs. Out of those polymorphic sites at which differences were observed between glaucomatous and normal dogs, two polymorphic sites of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database (dbSNP) ID numbers rs22018513 and rs22018514 were found effective for diagnosis of glaucoma.

Abstract: Upon reception of a trace inputted by handwriting, it is determined whether or not an input start position of the trace coincides with part of a trace indicated by trace information stored in a trace table or saved trace indicated by trace information stored in a saved trace table. When the input start position coincides with neither of them, sequentially received trace information is accumulated in the trace table. When the input start position coincides with either of them, a corresponding menu image is displayed, and it is determined whether, any one of processes is selected from the menu image. Then, the process selected from the menu image is executed.
