Abstract

Abnormalities of dopamine neurotransmission have been hypothesized to play an important role in the pathophysiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Support for this has come from numerous association studies on candidate genes including the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4). One of the most replicated associations between ADHD and the dopaminergic system is the 7-repeat allele of the VNTR polymorphism of this gene. A lack of association between this marker and ADHD has also been reported in several investigations. In the absence of a firm link between the number of the VNTR repeats and the function of the gene, we sought to investigate several additional markers at the 5'-end of the gene with potential influence on the expression of the DRD4. We observed a significant over transmission of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (chi(2) = 7.45, P = 0.008, OR = 1.63). In addition, an excess transmission of the A allele of the -521 SNP was observed, although it did not attain statistical significance (chi(2) = 2.14, P = 0.17, OR = 1.25). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis demonstrated a weak level of D' between any of the tested markers implying that this may be a region of high recombination. It also raises the ...Continue Reading
