Although we are a long way from understanding the complete genetic underpinnings of ADHD, a glucose transporter (GLUT-3) gene that regulates cerebral glucose metabolism may play a significant role. This meta-analysis of multiple European cohorts showed that variations in this (SLC2A3) gene were associated with increased likelihood of ADHD in some countries, but not all. An exciting area to watch – and a little more information to offer interested parents.
