24/11/2010 A study confirms the association of a gene with the persistence of TDAH in adults 24/11/2010 A study by researchers at Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and the Department of Psychiatry at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (HUVH) confirms relationship between the LPHN3 gene (Latrofilina 3) and the attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (TDAH), the most common subtype of this disorder. The research evidence the linking of this genetic variant with the persistence of the disease in adults. The results of the study, published in the journal Genes, Brain and Behavior, show that genetics plays a key role as a substrate in the development of TDAH, and corroborate the existence of common genetic basis between TDAH in children and TDAH in adulthood.
