The study team will determine the association between d,l-methylphenidate (MPH) therapeutic outcomes in ADHD patients and genetic variants of CES1 and reveal key associations between CES1 genotypes and the PK and PD of MPH.

NCT03781752

Conditions

1. ADHD
2. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Interventions

1. Drug: Methylphenidate

MeSH:Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

HPO:Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

In addition, the study team's in vitro studies have revealed that another common CES1 variant D203E (rs2307227) exhibited significantly impaired activity on MPH metabolism, although the effects on D203E on clinical response are in need of further elucidation. --- D203E ---

The study team's hypothesis is that the CES1 variants, such as the G143E and D203E, can significantly alter the expression and/or activity of CES1, thereby influencing the metabolism and disposition of MPH. --- G143E --- --- D203E ---
