Effects of catechol-O-methyltransferase on normal variation in the cognitive function of children.

The American journal of psychiatry - 1 Aug 2009

Barnett Jennifer H, Heron Jon, Goldman David, Jones Peter B, Xu Ke

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genetic variants that contribute to the risk of psychiatric disorders may also affect normal variation in psychological function. Indeed, the behavioral effects of many genetic variants may be better understood as process-specific rather than disease-specific. A functional valine-to-methionine (Val(158)Met) polymorphism in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene has been associated with cognitive...
