Analysis of 554 SNPs across 47 candidate genes in 590 families from the IMAGE ADHD genetics study found no overall parent-of-origin effect (χ² = 1.82, P = 0.117) for ADHD transmission. Five SNP markers in DDC, TPH2, and SLC6A2 showed nominal associations (P < 0.01) with ADHD combined subtype when restricted to maternal or paternal transmission only, but these findings likely represent false positives given multiple comparisons.
About TPH2
This gene encodes a member of the pterin-dependent aromatic acid hydroxylase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of serotonin, an important hormone and neurotransmitter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with psychiatric diseases such as bipolar affective disorder and major depression. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
