| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Serum levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) were associated with severity of attention deficits in adult patients with attention deficits/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Decreased serum levels of GDNF were associated with severity of mood disorders, major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. Serum levels of GDNF may be a potential biomarker for ADHD and mood disorders.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
注意障害は多くの精神疾患に共通して認められる。そのため、注意障害は精神疾患患者の日常生活や就労に大きな影響を与えており、社会経済的影響も大きい障害といえる。今回の研究成果は、グリア細胞株由来神経栄養因子（GDNF）が注意欠陥多動性障害（ADHD）や気分障害の病態に関連していることを見出した。今後、GDNFに基づいたADHDや気分障害の病態解明および治療法の開発へつながることが期待される。
