• 1.   Association of the paternally transmitted copy of common Valine allele of the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene with susceptibility to ADHD

  The aim of this study was to describe paternally transmitted copy of common Valine allele of the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain derived neurotrophic factor gene with susceptibility to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

  

  Abstract:

  Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common, highly heritable, neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in early childhood. Genes involved in neuronal development and growth are, thus, important etiological candidates and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), has been hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of ADHD. BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family more...

• 2.   Good practice in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  This article discusses good practice in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  

  Abstract:

  Major advances have been made in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) over the years, including advances in diagnostic validity, different subtypes, comorbidities, and treatment options. A comprehensive assessment needs to include medical, developmental, and educational histories using multiple sources of information and across different settings. In certain cases, additional more...

• 3.   Intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is not predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

  The aim of this study was to examine intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles

  

  Abstract:

  A major goal of genetic studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is to identify individual characteristics that might help segregate the disorder's inherent heterogeneity. [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462-469] recently reported a potentially important association between two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms (DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) more...
