RESUMO
We have summarized the abstract section as follows: "We report a son and his father aï¬ected by Attention Deï¬cit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They belonged to a larger cohort (116 ADHD children, 20 related parents, 77 controls) wholly genotyped forC9ORF72 expansion. Ten ADHD susceptibility genes were further investigated in the family. We revealed that son and father shared an intermediateC9ORF72 expansion and common variants inCDH23, ITGAE and MTRR. Bioinformatics highlighted aC9ORF72-MTRR interaction. This case-report underlines that in relatives with ADHD, carrying variants in ADHD susceptibility genes, the intermediateC9ORF72 repeats might have a potentially pathogenetic synergistic eï¬ect, supporting the multifactorial polygenic aetiopathogenetic proï¬le of disease".
