Abstract excerpt
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...
