In view of the possible shared common genes between ADHD and ODD, the important role of TPH-2 in 5-HT synthesis in brain and the possible association between TPH-2 gene polymorphisms and ADHD, as well as the associations of the TPH-2 gene polymorphism with behavioral and psychiatric disorders in previous studies, it would be of interest to examine the association between TPH-2 gene polymorphisms and ODD, which, to our best knowledge, has not been reported. The gene discussed is TPH2; the disease is psychiatric disorder.
