ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of determining a susceptibility of a subject for development of ADHD. The method comprises obtaining a sample from the subject, analyzing the sample for an ADHD susceptibility haplotype of LPHN3 receptor which is associated with at least one genetic marker selected from the group consisting of rs7678046, rs1901223, rs6813183, and rs1355368, and determining if the subject has a susceptibility to develop ADHD, whereby the presence of the haplotype having one or more of the genetic markers is indicative of a susceptibility to develop ADHD. The invention also provides methods of treating ADHD.
