چکیده
The etiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is complex and multifactorial, with an important genetics load. Pharmacological, animal, and brain image studies provide significant evidence that monoamine genes are relevant (Gizer et al., 2009). We aimed to explore the possible association between Val158Met COMT, VNTR 30 UTR SLC6A, and LPR SLC6A4 candidate genes with ADHD and its subtypes.

Linkage studies and epidemiological findings indicate that some possible genes in schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar mood disorder (BPD) are common. Numerous evidences for linkage of two diseases on chromosome 22 have been found. These findings suggest that one or more genes in the 22q11.21 region may be involved in the development of both disorders. In the present case-control study, association ...
