Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate the inflammatory response in children with this disorder
Detailed Description:
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder ADHD is a prevalent childhood neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by age-inappropriate and impairing levels of inattention hyperactivity and impulsiveness Approximately 5-10 of school-age children are affected by ADHD and in many cases symptoms persist into adolescence and adulthood
Cytokines are key mediators of immune function and can be either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory Recently few studies have suggested involvement of cytokine pathways in subjects with ADHD
Polymorphism of IL-1 receptors antagonists alleles have been suggested in families and subjects suffering from ADHD Moreover a new variant of inflammatory bowel disease another immunological based disease was recently suggested in children with ADHD and other developmental disorders There are no other published reports on cytokine production in children who suffer from ADHD
