Summary |
To replicate the association between LPHN3 and ADHD in adults, they undertook a case-control association study in 334 adult patients with ADHD and 334 controls with 43 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering the LPNH3 gene. Single and multiple-marker analyses showed additional evidence of association between LPHN3 and combined type ADHD in adulthood [P-value= 0.0019; df = 1; odds ratio (OR) = 1.82 (1.25-2.70) and P-value= 5.1e-05; df = 1; OR = 2.25 (1.52-3.34), respectively]. These results further support the LPHN3 contribution to combined type ADHD, and specifically to the persistent form of the disorder, and point at this new neuronal pathway as a common susceptibility factor for ADHD throughout the lifespan. |
Total Sample |
334 adult patients with ADHD were recruited at the Department of Psychiatry of the Hospital Universitari Vall d¡¯Hebron of Barcelona (Spain). The control sample, consisting of 334 unrelated adult subjects, was from the same geographic area. |
Sample Collection |
adult patients with ADHD were recruited at the Department of Psychiatry of the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron of Barcelona (Spain). The control sample was from the same geographic area. |
Diagnosis Description |
All subjects met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) criteria (65.3% combined type, 31.1% inattentive type and 3.6% hyperactive-impulsive type). Diagnosis was blind to genotype and was based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I and II Disorders (SCID-I and SCID-II) and the Conners' Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV (CAADID Part I and II). For more details, please refer to the original article. |
Technique |
Genomic DNA was isolated either from peripheral blood lymphocytes by the salting-out procedure or using magnetic bead technology with the Chemagic DNA kit or from saliva using the OrageneTMDNA Self-Collection kit. 48 selected SNPs were evaluated with the automated assay design pipeline at ms.appliedbiosystems.com/snplex/snplexStart.jsp. All SNPs were genotyped using the SNPLEXTM platform. |
Analysis Method |
For the single-marker analysis, analyses of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P-value< 0.01) in cases and controls separately and comparison of genotype and allele frequencies were performed using the SNPASSOC R package (Gonzalez et al . 2007). Correction for multiple testing was performed on the basis of the spectral decomposition (SpD) of matrices of pairwise LD between SNPs of the LPHN3 gene. For the multiple-marker analysis, significance was estimated using 10 000 permutations with the UNPHASED software version 3.0.13 (Dudbridge 2003). |
Result Description |
Single and multiple-marker analyses showed additional evidence of association between LPHN3 and combined type ADHD in adulthood [P-value= 0.0019; df = 1; odds ratio (OR) = 1.82 (1.25-2.70) and P-value= 5.1e-05; df = 1; OR = 2.25 (1.52-3.34), respectively]. |
