Abstract excerpt

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral disorder affecting children worldwide. The male bias in the prevalence of the disorder, suggests that some susceptibility genes may lie on the X chromosome. In this study we present evidence for a role of the X-linked steroid sulfatase (STS) gene and neurosteroids in the development of ADHD. Previously it has been observed that probands...
