Genetic influence on cognitive function and medication response in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

ADHD是最常见的儿童心理健康状况之一，其认知缺陷会影响日常功能，教育和社会成果。并不是所有的ADHD儿童都能从药物治疗中获得同样的益处。这种疾病似乎是遗传性的，许多基因对这种疾病的风险很小。该项目探讨DNA变异如何影响ADHD大脑功能以及它们对药物的反应。该项目对改善ADHD的临床诊断和结局具有重要意义。

ADHD is one of the most common child mental health conditions, with cognitive deficits that impact everyday functioning, educational and social outcomes. Not all children with ADHD achieve equal benefit from medication. The disorder appears to be genetic with many genes contributing a small risk for the disorder. This project asks how DNA variation influences ADHD brain function and how they respond to medication. This project is important to improve the clinical diagnosis and outcome for ADHD.
