We are a leading healthcare campus encompassing all fields of health: from healthcare and research to teaching and management.
Professionalism, commitment and research by professionals on the Campus are the key elements in offering patients excellent care.
We are committed to research as a tool to provide solutions to the daily challenges we face in the field of medical healthcare.
Thanks to our healthcare, teaching and research potential, we work to incorporate new knowledge to generate value for patients, professionals and the organization itself.
We generate, transform and transmit knowledge in all areas of the health sciences, helping to train the professionals of the future.
We are defined by our vocation for communication. We invite you to share everything that happens at Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, and our doors are always open.

Abstract: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors, which increases the risk of health problems, psychiatric co-morbidities, social disability, academic and occupational failure, and risk behaviours throughout the individual’s life. ADHD is highly heritable, although a large proportion of its heritability still needs to be explained. Gene expression, which results from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors, may help to elucidate additional phenotypic variance. In addition, most of its comorbidities are also highly heritable, with genetic risk factors being involved not only in their individual etiology but also in their co-occurrence.
This presentation will focus on a genetic approach to elucidate causal relationships between two traits, Mendelian randomization, and its application to ADHD and co-occurring traits and will also show the results of a study which integrates genetic and gene expression data to improve prediction of ADHD.
