We tested for association of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val(158)-Met (rs4680) polymorphism with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using family-based test in Korean trios.
A total of 181 subjects with ADHD along with both of their biological parents were recruited from University Hospitals in Korea. We performed a transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) on 181 trios.
In the TDT, we found the over-transmission of the Val allele in children with ADHD (χ(2)=4.21, p=0.040).
These results suggest that the COMT Val158-Met polymorphism is associated with ADHD among the Korean population. However, this study must be replicated in larger populations.
我们在韩国三口之家中采用基于家系的检验方法,检测儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶(COMT)Val(158)-Met(rs4680)多态性与注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)之间的关联。
从韩国大学医院招募了总共181名患有ADHD的受试者及其双亲。我们对181个三口之家进行了传递不平衡检验(TDT)。
在TDT中,我们发现ADHD儿童中Val等位基因过度传递(χ(2)=4.21,p=0.040)。
这些结果表明,COMT Val158-Met多态性与韩国人群中的ADHD相关。然而,本研究必须在更大规模人群中重复进行。
