Abstract excerpt

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable disorder. Although the causes of ADHD are unknown, dopaminergic, serotonergic and nor-adrenergic pathways have been strongly implicated. Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) is involved in the degradation of all three of these neurotransmitters and therefore has been suggested as a strong candidate gene for ADHD. Animal and human studies have implicated...
