BackgroundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting [~]7 million children (11.4%) in the U.S. However, ADHDs underlying genetic architecture remains largely unknown. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), which integrate expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and GWAS summary data, can identify differentially expressed risk genes underlying complex phenotypes. Here we conduct a TWAS of ADHD using expression data from m...
