Abstract excerpt
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder of the school age population. ADHD has been shown to be familial, and genetic studies estimate its heritability at 80%-90%. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the genetic type and alleles for the HTR1A gene in Korean children with ADHD. The sample consisted of 142 ADHD children and 139 control children. We...
