The male bias in the prevalence of the disorder, suggests that some susceptibility genes may lie on the X chromosome. In this study we present evidence for a role of the X-linked steroid sulfatase (STS) gene and neurosteroids in the development of ADHD. Previously it has been observed that probands with ADHD have lower serum concentrations of the neurosteroids DHEA, which is synthesized from DHEA-S by STS. In further support, boys that suffer from XLI, a skin disorder caused by the deletion of the STS gene, have higher rates of ADHD, in particular the inattentive subtype. In a moderately sized sample of ADHD families (N = 384), we genotyped seven single nucleotide polymorphisms, tagging the entire gene. TDT analysis of the data yielded two polymorphisms that were significantly associated with ADHD (rs2770112-Transmitted: 71 Not Transmitted; 48; rs12861247-Transmitted: 43 Not Transmitted: 21), located towards the 5' end of the gene (P < 0.05). We conclude that the STS gene may play a role in susceptibility for ADHD, and that the neurosteroids pathways should be investigated further to access their potential contribution in susceptibility to the disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":520553,"journal":{"name":"American journal of medical genetics.

We then sub-grouped the sample for each polymorphism by genotype or by the presence of the (putative) ADHD risk allele and compared the performance of the subgroups on a large battery of neurocognitive tests. The COMT Val158Met polymorphism was related to differences in IQ and reaction time, both of the DRD4 polymorphisms (48 bp repeat and 120 bp duplication) showed an association with verbal memory skills, and the SLC6A3 40 bp VNTR polymorphism could be linked to differences in inhibition.

A case-control design was used for candidate gene-disease association in 194 MDD patients, 155 schizophrenic psychosis patients, and 246 healthy controls, all North European Caucasians. Four polymorphisms were analyzed in terms of genotype, allele, and haplotype-based associations. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis was also carried out. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple testing. Haplotype-based analyses showed significant associations between 5-HTT and SCZ but not MDD. No single locus associations were observed.

Over 100 studies have examined the genetics of ADHD by linkage or association, though no article has presented a comprehensive overview of all published reports. We reviewed all ADHD studies, including 3 genome-wide linkage studies, and association studies of 94 polymorphisms in 33 candidate genes. To simplify comparisons across heterogeneous articles, demographics and comorbidity were ignored; analyses of subtype and haplotypes were excluded; and only the most positive finding for each polymorphism in a study was reported. Thirty-six percent of all findings were positive (P< 0.05), 17% were trends (0.05 <P < 0.15), and 47% were negative (P > 0.15). Studies utilizing dimensional measures of ADHD tended to result in higher rates of positive findings than those using categorical diagnoses (X(2) = 5.6, P = 0.018), and case-control studies tended to result in higher rates of positive findings than family-based studies (X(2) = 18.8, P < 0.001). However, for either dichotomy, no significant difference remained when analyzing only studies using both methods within the same population and polymorphism. Evidence for association exists for four genes in ADHD: the dopamine D4 and D5 receptors, and the dopamine and serotonin transporters; others are promising but need further replication, including the dopamine D2 and serotonin 2A receptors. All candidate gene approaches continue to face the problem of relatively low power, given modest odds ratios for even the best replicated genes.</p>","PeriodicalId":520553,"journal":{"name":"American journal of medical genetics.
