摘要
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral diagnosis based on the presence of developmentally inappropriate levels of impulsivity, overactivity, and inattentiveness. It is a familial condition with a complex pattern of inheritance. Variation of several genes involved in the regulation of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin neurotransmission is associated with ADHD. We highlight the two most prominent findings with the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene and the dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene, and their implications for the understanding of the cellular and neurobiological basis for ADHD.
