The dopaminergic system plays a pivotal role in the central nervous system via its five diverse receptors (D1–D5). Dysfunction of dopaminergic system is implicated in many neuropsychological diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a common mental disorder that prevalent in childhood. Understanding the relationship of five different dopamine (DA) receptors with ADHD will help us to elucidate different roles of these receptors and to develop therapeutic approaches of…

Role of COMT in ADHD: a Systematic Meta-Analysis
TLDR
This work summarized the reported findings investigating associations between COMT gene and ADHD and performed a meta-analysis of previous studies to assess the overall magnitude and significance of the association.

TLDR
What is recently known about the role of GluRs in ADHD, that including GluR genes, animal models, and the treatment are discussed, would help to further elucidate the etiology of ADHD.
Meta-analysis of the DRD5 VNTR in persistent ADHD
Biomarkers for ADHD: the Present and Future Directions
TLDR
The existing evidence for different biomarkers that have been studied in the past for diagnosing ADHD are summarized and shown promise in studies to be an objective aid to clinical diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of ADHD.
Sex Differences in Dopamine Receptors and Relevance to Neuropsychiatric Disorders
TLDR
This review will bring together what is known regarding sex differences in innate dopamine receptor expression and function, as well as highlight the known sex-specific roles of dopamine in addiction, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Analysis of GNAL Polymorphisms in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
TLDR
The presence of the allele A in rs8095592 could be preventive from ADHD in those with family history, and was significantly more common in the patients who had a family history of ADHD.
DRD1 and DRD2 Receptor Polymorphisms: Genetic Neuromodulation of the Dopaminergic System as a Risk Factor for ASD, ADHD and ASD/ADHD Overlap
TLDR
The hypothesis that the genetic neuromodulation of the DS in the neurobiology of both autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder might have common neurobiological pathways involving the DS is supported.
Analysis of GNAL Polymorphisms in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
TLDR
The presence of the allele A in rs8095592 could be preventive from ADHD in those with family history, and was significantly more common in the patients who had a family history of ADHD.
Transgenic mouse models for ADHD
TLDR
The recent advances and pitfalls in modeling ADHD endophenotypes in genetically altered animals are discussed, mainly based on targeting genes involved in DA transmission, including the gene encoding the dopamine transporter (DAT1).
Potential Contribution of Dopaminergic Gene Variants in ADHD Core Traits and Co-Morbidity: A Study on Eastern Indian Probands
TLDR
It can be summarized from the present investigation that these gene variants may influence cognitive/hyperactive traits, thereby affecting the disease etiology and associated co-morbid features.

Polymorphisms of the dopamine D4 receptor, clinical outcome, and cortical structure in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
TLDR
The DRD4 7-repeat allele, which is widely associated with a diagnosis of ADHD, and in this cohort with better clinical outcome, is associated with cortical thinning in regions important in attentional control.
Dopaminergic System Genes in ADHD: Toward a Biological Hypothesis
Evidence that the dopamine D4 receptor is a susceptibility gene in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
TLDR
Family, twin, and adoption studies suggest genetic factors contribute to ADHD and symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Linkage of the dopamine D4 receptor gene and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
TLDR
The results of this study further support the possibility of a role of the dopamine D4 receptor locus in ADHD.
Structure and function of dopamine receptors
Examining for association between candidate gene polymorphisms in the dopamine pathway and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: a family-based study.
TLDR
It is concluded that none of the alleles tested makes a major contribution to ADHD, although much larger samples are required to exclude small effects.

TLDR
The dopamine hypothesis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is examined from the point of view of differential dose effects of CNS stimulant medications, and theories of neural control.
