Summary | They have examined monoaminergic candidate genes for possible genetic association with ADHD in the Irish population, focusing particularly on genes of the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. They have observed that several of these genes are associated with ADHD, including DAT1, DBH, DRD4, DRD5, and 5HT1B. Here, they present what appears to be a systematic overtransmission of paternal alleles at candidate genes associated with ADHD. For the nine genes included in the analysis, the overall odds ratio for paternal transmission was 2, compared with 1.3 for maternal transmission (paternal vs. maternal X2=9.6; P=0.0019). Transmission to females, from either parent, was significantly stronger than to males. |

Sample Collection | A total of 179 Irish ADHD-affected nuclear families were included in the current study. |
Diagnosis Description | The sample was ascertained and the diagnosis confirmed as described elsewhere (Kirley et al. 2004). In brief, consensus diagnoses were made in accordance with DSM-IV criteria. One or both parents of each child were interviewed using the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment. To fulfill DSM-IV criteria for symptom pervasiveness, information about ADHD symptoms at school was obtained from teachers through use of the Teacher Telephone Interview, which involved asking teachers about DSM-IV symptoms of ADHD and impairment shown in class. Of the sample, 77% were affected with ADHD-combined type, whereas 15% met research criteria for ADHD-inattentive type, and 8% for ADHD- hyperactive-impulsive type. |
Technique | PCR-based genotyping of markers included in this study was conducted using the primer sequences and amplification conditions as described and referenced in table 2 in the original publication. |
Analysis Method | The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) is a linkage and family-based association test (Spielman et al. 1993) designed to avoid errors in case-control studies that are due to population stratification. It compares the frequency of transmitted and nontransmitted alleles from parents heterozygous for a given polymorphism. |
Result Description | For the nine genes included in the analysis, the overall odds ratio for paternal transmission was 2, compared with 1.3 for maternal transmission (paternal vs. maternal x2=9.6, P=0.0019). Transmission to females, from either parent, was significantly stronger than to males. Possible reasons for this preferential transmission include imprinting and ascertainment bias, although results of further analyses show that the latter is unlikely. |
