Are endophenotypes based on measures of executive functions useful for molecular genetic studies of ADHD?
Article Abstract:
Evidence supporting the use of deficits on neurocognitive measures of executive functions is reviewed. Such deficits are a correlate of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and show preliminary evidence of heritability and association with relevant candidate genes.

Collaborative analysis of DRD4 and DAT genotypes in population-defined ADHD subtypes
Article Abstract:
Three studies which had previously reported no associations between polymorphisms of the DRD4 and DAT genes and DSM-IV defined attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were reanalyzed using population-based and DSM-IV defined ADHD sub-types. No significant associations were found for either DRD4 or DAT polymorphisms using DSM-IV ADHD subtypes.
