Journal ArticleDOI

Biased paternal transmission of SNAP-25 risk alleles in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

TL;DR: A trend is found consistent with biased transmission of the TC haplotype of SNAP-25 in all transmissions and a significant distortion is detected when paternal transmissions were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

ADHD and comorbid disorders in relation to family environment and symptom severity.

TL;DR: Adolescents who develop externalizing disorders comorbid to ADHD seem to suffer from a severe form of ADHD and live in family environments that may not provide sufficient support for optimal development of an adolescent with ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission disequilibrium testing of dopamine-related candidate gene polymorphisms in ADHD: confirmation of association of ADHD with DRD4 and DRD5.

TL;DR: A large multiplex sample of ADHD affected children and their parents was genotyped for polymorphisms in genes previously reported to be associated with ADHD, finding no evidence for an association in DRD2 or DAT1 in this sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mindfulness and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: Findings support that a large portion of variability in trait mindfulness can be explained by ADHD status and personality traits of self-directedness and self-transcendence and suggest that interventions that increase mindfulness might improve symptoms of ADHD and increase self- directedness and/or self- transcendence.
