Abstract excerpt

Up to one third of patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) report a history of ADHD symptoms, and both disorders may also be associated with dopaminergic abnormalities. COMT gene, coding for an enzyme responsible for the degradation of dopamine, may play a part in the etiology of ADHD and BN. This study aimed to (1) examine if certain variants of the COMT genetic markers (rs6269, rs4633, rs4818 and rs4680) are more...
