Abstract excerpt
A previous genome-wide screen for copy number variations (CNVs) in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) revealed a de novo chromosome 3q26.1 deletion in one of the patients. Candidate genes at this locus include the acetylcholine-metabolizing butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) expressing gene (OMIM #177400), which is of particular interest. The present study investigates the hypothesis that the heterozygous...
