Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying genetic factors linked to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through analysis of families with multiple affected members in Saudi Arabia, suggesting the genetic complexity of ADHD hinders risk-gene identification.* -
- Researchers analyzed 41 individuals from these families, discovering multiple shared genomic regions across various chromosomes, particularly highlighting chromosomes 8 and 17 as significant.* -
- Findings emphasize the potential relevance of specific genes related to neurotransmission and immune response in ADHD, offering new insights into the genetic diversity of the disorder, particularly in an understudied population.*
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the major causes of parkinsonism syndrome. Its characteristic motor symptoms are attributable to dopaminergic neurons loss in the midbrain. Genetic advances have highlighted underlying molecular mechanisms and provided clues to potential therapies.
