  1. Abbreviations: ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; CI, confidence interval; miRNA, microRNA; OR, odds ratio; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; UTR, untranslated region.
  2. *Allele 1 denotes always risk allele and all calculations are performed considering this allele.
  3. **Statistically significant P-values after applying a false discovery rate of 20% (P-value <1.58e−03 for the association tests with SNPs both in the miRNA genes and in the selected target genes).
