The effect of guanfacine treatment on ocular parameters in pediatric and adolescents patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder by Işıl Merve Torun, Zeynep Vatansever Pinar, Şeyma İlhan

“…Assessments were made of these parameters obtained from images using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrument. Results A significant increase in total root mean square (RMS) (p = 0.029*), RMS low-order aberration (LOA) (p = 0.014*), Coma 0° (p < 0.001*), and Coma 90° (p = 0.037*) corneal aberrations was observed at the sixth month of guanfacine treatment in comparison with the baseline examination. …”

Neurophysiological Endophenotypes, CNS Disinhibition, and Risk for Alcohol Dependence and Related Disorders by Bernice Porjesz, Madhavi Rangaswamy

“…More recently, we found significant linkage and association with GABRA2 and interhemispheric theta coherence. We also reported significant linkage and linkage disequilibrium between the theta and delta event-related oscillations underlying P3 to target stimuli and GABRA2, a cholinergic muscarinic receptor gene on chromosome 7, which we found is also associated with diagnosis of alcohol dependence and related disorders. …”
