OBJECTIVE: The features of childhood @entity71 ( @entity71 ) are significantly associated with adult @entity1316 . Some genetic factors may be common to both @entity71 and @entity1316 underlie the association between these two phenotypes. The present study aimed to determine whether a genetic role may be played by the @entity750 transporter-linked polymorphic region ( @entity16068 ) in the childhood @entity71 features of adult @entity1 with @entity1316 . METHODS: The present study included 232 @entity1 with @entity308 ( @entity308 ), 154 @entity1 with @entity162 ( @entity162 ), and 1,288 normal controls. Childhood @entity71 features were assessed with the Korean version of the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS-K). The total score and the scores of three factors ( @entity23 , inattention, and mood instability) from the WURS-K were analyzed to determine whether they were associated with the @entity16068 genotype. RESULTS: In the @entity162 group, the @entity16068 genotype was significantly associated with the total score (p=0.029) and the @entity23 factor (p=0.004) on the WURS-K. However, the inattention and mood instability factors were not associated with the @entity16068 genotype. @entity162 , @entity308 and normal control groups did not exhibit any significant associations between the WURS-K scores and the @entity16068 genotype. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the @entity16068 genotype may play a role in the @entity23 component of childhood @entity71 in @entity1 with @entity162 . Because of a small sample size and a single candidate gene, further studies investigating other candidate genes using a larger sample are warranted to determine any common genetic links.
