Association of ADHD with genetic variants in the 5'-region of the dopamine transporter gene: evidence for allelic heterogeneity.
Multiple studies have reported an association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the 10-repeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1). Yet, recent meta-analyses of available data find little or no evidence for this association; although there is strong evidence for heter...
متن کاملADHD candidate gene study in a population-based birth cohort: association with DBH and DRD2.
OBJECTIVE Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood-onset disorder with a significant impact on public health. Although a genetic contribution to risk is evident, predisposing genetic determinants remain largely unknown despite extensive research. So far, the most promising candidate genes have been those involved in dopamine and serotonin pathways. This study tests ...
متن کاملThe genetics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable, disruptive, childhood-onset condition, the aetiology and pathogenesis of which is poorly understood. There have been relatively few genome-wide linkage studies, and no chromosomal region has yet been unequivocally implicated. In contrast, evidence from pharmacological, neuroimaging and animal studies has suggested the involv...
متن کاملDRD4 Rare Variants in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Further Evidence from a Birth Cohort Study
The dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) is one of the most studied candidate genes for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). An excess of rare variants and non-synonymous mutations in the VNTR region of 7R allele in ADHD subjects was observed in previous studies with clinical samples. We hypothesize that genetic heterogeneity in the VNTR is an important factor in the pathophysiology of ADHD....
متن کاملEvaluation of VNTR polymorphisms of dopamine transporter gene and the risk of bipolar disorder in Zahedan, southeast Iran
The exact role of dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder type 1 (BD) is not understood. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the possible association between 30, 40 and 63 bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms of DAT1 gene and the risk of type 1 (BD) in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was performed on 152 BD patient...
