CONCLUSION: Overall, our TWAS of ADHD, by integrating human prenatal brain transcriptome and ADHD GWAS results, uncovered the cis-effects of gene/transcript regulation that are predicted to be associated with ADHD. By combining colocalization and FOCUS fine-mapping analysis, we further unraveled potential causal candidate risk genes. The risk genes/transcripts we identified in this study can serve as a valuable resource for further investigation of the disease mechanisms underlying ADHD.
