New genes linked to ADHD identified, potentially paving the way for new treatments

Several new genes associated with conditions such as Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been identified, unearthing a significant connection between these disorders and our immune system that could lead to new treatments. The research from the University of Surrey, now published in Translational Psychiatry, also confirms the role of gene ADGRL3 in conditions such as ADHD, giving scientists a greater understanding of its workings.
