This study examines the potential role of candidate genes in moderating treatment effects of methylphenidate (MPH) in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Eighty two subjects with ADHD aged 6 to 17 participated in a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, crossover titration trial of immediate release MPH three times daily. Subjects were assessed on a variety of parent and clinician ratings, and a laboratory math test. Data reduction based on principal components analysis identified statistically derived efficacy and side effect outcomes. ADHD symptom response was predicted by polymorphisms at the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) intron 2 VNTR (p=.01), with a suggested trend for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) (p=.04). Gene × dose interactions were noted on math test outcomes for the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) promoter (p=.008), DRD4 exon 3 VNTR (p=.006), and SLC6A4 promoter insertion/deletion polymorphism (5HTTLPR) (p=.02). Irritability was predicted by COMT (p=.02). Vegetative symptoms were predicted by 5HTTLPR (p=.003). No significance effects were noted for the dopamine transporter (SLC6A3) or synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25). This report confirms and expands previous studies suggesting that genes moderate ADHD treatment response. ADHD outcomes are not unitary, but reflect both behavioral and learning domains that are likely influenced by different genes. Future research should emphasize candidate gene and genome wide association studies in larger samples, symptom reduction as well as side effects outcomes, and responses over full therapeutic dose ranges to assess differences in both gene and gene × dose interactive effects.
