This provides new insights into the biological mechanisms behind ADHD and contributes to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
ADHD is a type of psychological disorder that is more common in childhood. The main symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and irritability. The research team's paper in the new British journal Nature Genetics says that genetic factors often play an important role in such psychological disorders.
To this end, they conducted a genome comparison of more than 20,000 ADHD patients and more than 35,000 people without ADHD. It was found that 12 gene mutations increased the risk of ADHD, and the more genetic variants carried, the hyperactivity disorder The greater the risk.
Det De Montis, an associate professor at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, one of the main authors of the paper, said that a large amount of sample data allows researchers to find sites in the genome of ADHD patients that are different from healthy people.
Further research has also found that these genetic variants not only increase the risk of ADHD, but also increase the risk of overweight and suffering from diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
The researchers said that the discovery of relevant risk genes provides an important basis for further study of ADHD, which helps to better understand the pathogenesis of the disease and ultimately provide patients with better treatments.
