Abstract:Objective: To explore the impact of serotonin transporter gene linked polymorphism region (5-HTTLPR) on the rest-state brain activities of amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: Fifty-one children with ADHD and thirty-seven normal controls were checked up by resting state functional magnetic resonance scanner. The ALFF approach was used to analyse the brain function in resting state. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was applied to detect 5-HTTLPR. Results: Compared with the normal controls, ADHD showed decreased ALFF in left median superior frontal lobe, right precuneus, and left precuneus. Compared with each other among gene subtypes of 5-HTTLPR, there was diferent ALFF value in left median superior frontal lobe and left precuneus. Post hoc analysis showed ALFF value of S/S genotype was higher than L/L genotype, S/L genotype higher than that of L/L genotype, and there was no statistically significant difference between S/L genotype and S/S genotype. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequencies of the genotypes and alles of 5-HTTLPR between ADHD (L/L, S/L, S/S genotypes: 3.9%, 41.2% and 54.9%; S, L allels: 40.7%, 59.3%) and normal controls (L/L, S/L, S/S genotypes: 5.4%, 37.8% and 56.8%; S, L allels: 36.4%, 54.6%). Conclusion: S allele activity is associated with altered activities in particular brain regions of ADHD children.
