Abstract excerpt

Associations between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and genetic variants within the dopamine D4 receptor gene have been much reported. Variants investigated include the 7-repeat allele of a VNTR within the third exon, and two SNPs (-521 and -616) located with the promoter region. We investigated the relationship between the VNTR, -521, and -616 SNPs and sustained attention performance in 54 ADHD...
