OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between two HTR2C gene polymorphisms, that is C-759T and G-697C polymorphisms, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comorbid or not comorbid learning disorder (LD). METHODS: Blood samples were taken from 189 trios with probands of ADHD comorbid LD (ADHD+LD) and 299 trios with probands of ADHD not comorbid LD (ADHD-LD). DNA was extracted and PCR was performed to amplify the fragments containing both C-759T and G-697C polymorphisms. Aci I was used to detect different alleles of the two polymorphisms. Allele- based and haplotype- based TDT analysis were used to test the association of the two polymorphisms of HTR2C gene and ADHD-LD and ADHD+LD. RESULTS: -759C(chi(2)=6.961, P=0.008), -697G(chi(2)=8.346, P=0.004), as well as -759C/-697G haplotype were over- transmitted(chi(2)=9.000, P=0.002 7), while haplotype -759T/-697C was under- transmitted(chi(2)=7.784, P=0.005 3) to probands with ADHD-LD. No biased transmission of any allele and haplotype were found in families with probands of ADHD+LD. CONCLUSION: ADHD-LD and ADHD+LD are different at the level of HTR2C gene polymrohisms of C-759T and G-697C. HTR2C is related to ADHD-LD, while not related to ADHD+LD.
