Nearly 50 % of subjects with continuing symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adulthood show a comorbid substance use disorder. Both, ADHD and alcohol dependence have a high genetic load and might even share overlapping sources of genetic liability.
We investigated phenotype and 5-HTT/5-HT2c allelic characteristics in 314 alcoholics of German descent.
21 % of the alcoholics fulfilled DSM-IV-criteria of ADHD with ongoing symptoms in adulthood. There was no significant difference in 5-HTT- or 5-HT2c-allele distribution between alcoholics and matched controls or between alcoholics with or without ADHD.
In our sample the functional relevant 5-HTT-promoter and the 5-HT2c-receptor Cys23Ser polymorphism do not contribute to the supposed common genetic predisposition of ADHD and alcohol dependence.
成年期仍有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)持续症状的患者中,近50%表现出共病物质使用障碍。ADHD和酒精依赖都具有较高的遗传负荷,甚至可能共享重叠的遗传易感性来源。
我们调查了314名德国血统酗酒者的表型和5-羟色胺转运体(5-HTT)/5-羟色胺2C受体(5-HT2c)等位基因特征。
21%的酗酒者符合ADHD的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版(DSM-IV)标准,成年期仍有症状。酗酒者与匹配对照组之间,以及有或无ADHD的酗酒者之间,5-HTT或5-HT2c等位基因分布无显著差异。
在我们的样本中,功能相关的5-HTT启动子和5-HT2c受体Cys23Ser多态性对ADHD和酒精依赖假定的共同遗传易感性无影响。
