Objective: To determine whether individual or interactive single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may influence the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: DNA from buccal cells 212 participants (110 cases and 102 controls) were subjected to TaqMan genotyping HTR2A rs7997012, HTR2C rs6318, SLC6A4 rs3813034, ANKK1 rs1800497, BDNF rs6265 SNPs. The ASD symptoms severity assessed by DSM-IV criteria CARS scores. SNPStats software was used best model inheritance genotypic data....
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Several studies have confirmed co-existence other neuropsychiatric disorders with ADHD. Out 106 individuals suspected to ADHD, eight Saudi Arabian pediatric patients were diagnosed ADHD using a dual assessment procedure based on highly significant scores from international criteria for diagnosis; (full form DMS) DSM-5. Then, these examined autism and different diagnostic protocols. Four...

Background: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a widespread and debilitating with relatively high prevalence in Saudi Arabia. Neuropsychological radiological investigations have revealed that there are some differences the components of brain regions children without ADHD. In this study we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) four non-familial cases ADHD from Makkah Region to identify genetic polymorphisms associated disease our population. Methods: Exome was carried out...
