▶Genome‐wide association study in German patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorderAssociationN=1,795Anke Hinney et al.(2011)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
A genome-wide association study in 495 German ADHD patients and 1,300 population-based controls identified 30 independent SNPs with p-values below 7.57×10^-5 for replication testing. The best SNP (rs2556378 in BCL11A, p=8.38×10^-7, OR=1.61) and second-best SNP (rs5016282 in GRM5, p=1.78×10^-6, OR=1.85) showed directionally consistent effects in replication families (n=320) and meta-analysis, but no genome-wide significant results (p<5×10^-8) were achieved despite high ADHD heritability.
About GRM5
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 3 protein family. The encoded protein is a metabatropic glutamate receptor, whose signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. This protein may be involved in the regulation of neural network activity and synaptic plasticity. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
