  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content>) is a common, highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder with profound cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial impairments with persistence across the life cycle. Our initial genome‐wide screening approach for copy number variants (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CNV</jats:styled-content>s) in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content> implicated a duplication of <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SLC</jats:styled-content>2A3</jats:italic>, encoding glucose transporter‐3 (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">GLUT</jats:styled-content>3). <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">GLUT</jats:styled-content>3 plays a critical role in cerebral glucose metabolism, providing energy for the activity of neurons, which, in turn, moderates the excitatory–inhibitory balance impacting both brain development and activity‐dependent neural plasticity. We therefore aimed to provide additional genetic and functional evidence for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">GLUT</jats:styled-content>3 dysfunction in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content>.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Case–control association analyses of <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SLC</jats:styled-content>2A3</jats:italic> single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SNP</jats:styled-content>s) and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CNV</jats:styled-content>s were conducted in several European cohorts of patients with childhood and adult <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content> (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SNP</jats:styled-content>,<jats:italic> n</jats:italic> = 1,886 vs. 1,988; <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CNV</jats:styled-content>,<jats:italic> n</jats:italic> = 1,692 vs. 1,721). These studies were complemented by <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SLC</jats:styled-content>2A3</jats:italic> expression analyses in peripheral cells, functional <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">EEG</jats:styled-content> recordings during neurocognitive tasks, and ratings of food energy content.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Meta‐analysis of all cohorts detected an association of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SNP</jats:styled-content> rs12842 with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content>. While <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CNV</jats:styled-content> analysis detected a population‐specific enrichment of <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SLC</jats:styled-content>2A3</jats:italic> duplications only in German <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content> patients, the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">CNV</jats:styled-content> + rs12842 haplotype influenced <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ADHD</jats:styled-content> risk in both the German and Spanish cohorts.
