American scientists have proven that a decrease in the PlGF protein produced by the placenta during the last three months of pregnancy (third trimester) increases the risk of developing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the unborn child by 2.6 times. The research, published in the prestigious medical journal JAMA Psychiatry, paves the way for the detection of ADHD in the womb.
Late-pregnancy placental problems associated with higher ADHD risk
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children may be associated with problems with placental health during late pregnancy, according to a new study by University of Iowa Health Care researchers. The findings, published in JAMA Psychiatry, help identify a risk factor in pregnancy that is linked to ADHD in children and potentially point to new treatment targets for ADHD.
