Clinical Care & Knowledge on: ADHD, OCD, Tourette's

Clinical Research is all investigation performed with the help of patients in hospital or other clinical setting. The purpose is generally to improve the diagnostic tools which are yet poor in the field of psychiatric and behavioral diseases. Only by a deeper investigation potency - in the field of biomarker and/or in the field of tomographic imaging - we can hope to promote better definition and hence better detection of the various facets inherent to psychiatric and behavioral diseases. Clinical Care should always be based on UP-to-DATE CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE... EMMA is fully committed to divulge rapidly all novel discoveries in the field of mind and metabolism, with a special regard on ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Tourette Syndrome.

Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood-onset behavioral disorder with a definite genetic component. The search for genes predisposing to ADHD has focused on genes involved in the regulation of monoamine systems. (...) Additionally, the most interesting news: for six genes (SNAP25NET1DBHCHRNA4, DRD3 and SYT1) we detected one or more SNPs with nominal P-valuesless than or equal to0.05. This study has identified several genes as promising susceptibility loci for ADHD. Replication efforts and further investigations remain necessary to provide definite proof of association.


Volume 65 (1 April 2009) of "Biological Psychiatry" is entirely devoted to ADHD :
