The tryptophan hydroxylase 1 and 2 (TPH1 and TPH2) genes encode the rate-limiting enzymes in the serotonin biosynthesis. Genetic variants in both genes have been implicated in several psychiatric disorders. For attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, the results are conflicting, and little is known about their role in adult ADHD patients. We therefore first genotype-tagged all common variants...
