Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The absence of association between COMT alleles and ADHD indicated that this locus does not play a significant role or at least a role independent of other genes, in predisposing to ADHD in the Irish population. 10898900 2000

0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The HHRR analysis suggested that the low enzyme-activity COMT Met allele was preferentially transmitted to ADHD boys (160 trios, chi(2) = 3.858, P = 0.05, df = 1) but not girls. 12627475 2003
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Contrary to the observed association between WCST performance and the Val108/158 Met polymorphism of the COMT gene in both healthy and schizophrenic adults, this polymorphism does not appear to modulate executive functions in children with ADHD. 15613245 2004
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Moreover, a functional Val158Met polymorphism in COMT that alters the activity of the encoded protein has been strongly implicated in frontal lobe function, with the high activity Valine allele being associated with poorer performance, and ADHD is thought to involve fronto-striatal pathways. 15635644 2005
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Catechol O-methyltransferase gene variant and birth weight predict early-onset antisocial behavior in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. 16275815 2005
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE After pooling the results, no significant association between the COMT Vall58/108Met polymorphism and ADHD was found (OR 0.99 (95% CI: 0.88-1.12), P = 0.87). 16676224 2006
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Association of the low-activity COMT 158Met allele with ADHD and OCD in subjects with velocardiofacial syndrome. 16734939 2007
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Schizophrenia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which lead to failure of attentional modulation and working memory, introduce significant changes in gamma responses and have significant associations with genetic polymorphisms of dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4), dopamine transporter (DAT), and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). 16751296 2007
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Sleep and COMT polymorphism in ADHD children: preliminary actigraphic data. 16865041 2006
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE These findings are consistent with evidence of overlap between schizophrenia and ADHD and support an involvement of COMT genotype in ADHD features. 17109713 2006
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE Contrasting findings for COMT and DAT-1 may best be considered in terms of prediction of medication response in ADHD in the case of COMT, but in aetiological terms in the case of DAT-1, which is abundant in the striatum and possibly plays a greater role in determining hyperactivity and impulsivity, than working memory deficiencies. 17464676 2007
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We genotyped a sample of 45 adults with ADHD at four candidate polymorphisms for the disorder (DRD4 48 base pair (bp) repeat, DRD4 120 bp duplicated repeat, SLC6A3 (DAT1) 40 bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), and COMT Val158Met). 17886261 2008
