Does cannabis use impact the risk of glaucoma? New study investigates

The study in Scientific Reports finds no significant association between cannabis use and the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, challenging the notion that cannabis could influence intraocular pressure and glaucoma risk.

5-fold increase in ADHD medication use in children and adolescents

Contact: Vicki Cohn vcohn@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News   New Rochelle, NY, September 10, 2013—Use of stimulant medications to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents has increased significantly over the past several years. This trend toward increased use of prescription stimulants extends beyond ADHD to other types of neuropsychiatric disorders…

Autism-Related Gene Variants Identified in Neurotypical Population

Researchers have found rare variants of genes known to be strongly associated with autism in 1% of individuals from the general population.

Some who lack autism diagnosis carry variants tied to the condition

The variants are associated with slight differences in measures of intelligence, income and employment, but the relationship may not be causal.

New study advances the understanding of genetic basis of autism

A new study of genes underlying neurodevelopmental differences has uncovered more than 70 that are very strongly associated with autism and more than 250 with strong links to the condition.

Antidepressant discontinuation before or during pregnancy and risk of psychiatric emergency in Denmark: A population-based propensity score–matched cohort study

In a population based cohort study in Denmark, Xiaoqin Liu and colleagues study the associations between discontinuation of antidepressant medication before or during pregnancy and risk of psychiatric emergency during the perinatal period.

ADHD patients with a psychiatric comorbidity more likely to stop taking their ADHD medicine

ADHD patients with a psychiatric comorbidity more likely to stop taking their ADHD medicine A research study from the The Lundbeck Foundation Initiative for Integrative Psychiatric Research iPSYCH shows that people with ADHD, who also have another psychiatric diagnosis, are more likely to stop taking their ADHD medicine. ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in childhood and is commonly treated with medication. ADHD medicine can be divided into two groups: medicine that has a stimulating effect - also known as stimulants - and non-stimulants, which are often used if a person does not respond well to the other form of medicine.

People with ADHD and multiple psychiatric diagnoses stop their ADHD treatment more often

Genetics Alone Not Enough to Predict Early-Onset Depression

Specific genes increase the risk of bedwetting

 E-Mail In a large-scale study of Danish children and young people, researchers from Aarhus University have for the first time found genetic variants that increase the risk of nocturnal enuresis - commonly known as bedwetting or nighttime incontinence. The findings provide completely new insights into the processes in the body causing this widespread phenomenon. Researchers have long known that nighttime incontinence is a highly heritable condition. Children who wet the bed at night often have siblings or parents who either suffer from or have suffered from the same condition. But until now, science has been unable to pinpoint the genes concerned.
