ABSTRACT
Objective:To examine the role of dopamine D4 receptor gene(DRD4) in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) with/without disruptive behavior disorder(DBD) by focusing on a-521C/T SNP within the promoter region of this gene.Methods:A total of 401 DSM-Ⅳ ADHD children(including 284 trios) of Chinese Han descent were genotyped.Chi-square test and the transmission disequilibrium test(TDT) were used to test for associations in ADHD with and without DBD respectively.Results:In the comparison of ADHD with(n= 143) and without(n= 258) DBD,the-521T allele(?2 = 6.778,P= 0.009,OR= 1.485) and the TT genotype(?2 = 6.292,P= 0.012,OR= 1.729) showed higher frequency in children with ADHD and DBD simultaneously.For family based analysis,T allele of the-521C/T polymorphism was preferentially transmitted to ADHD children with comorbid DBD(n= 100,?2 = 3.868,P= 0.049),whereas no significant distortion was found in the transmission of the tested variant for ADHD without DBD(n= 184,?2 = 0.223,P= 0.637).Conclusion:Our findings suggest that the-521C/T SNP of DRD4 may contribute to the predisposition to ADHD with comorbid DBD.This study supports for the hypothesis that ADHD with comorbid DBD may be influenced by greater genetic effect compared to ADHD alone.
