Diseases
We currently represent the following dopamine related PND's (Pediatric neurotransmitter diseases):
Pediatric Neurotransmitter Disease
"Pediatric Neurotransmitter Disease" (PND) is an umbrella term for genetic disorders that affect the synthesis, metabolism and catabolism of neurotransmitters in children.
Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are released during a nerve impulse to either excite or inhibit nerve function.
Genetics
PND's are genetic diseases. Each specific PND has its own variation (an unusual form) mutation (alteration) of a gene.
Genetic testing
Diagnosis of PND's can be made in different ways. For some dopamine and serotonin related diseases diagnosis can be confirmed by different tests.
