    East (front) façade, upper north gable; A mature design by renowned architect Henry Hobson Richardson, Glessner House is famous for its site development, innovative floor plan, and rugged Romanesque Revival-style facade. A reminder of what Prairie Avenue looked like when it was home to some of the city's finest mansions, the Glessner House is the only remaining Chicago building by this Boston-based architect. The building was designed for John J. Glessner, an executive with the International Harvester Company. It now contains a house museum, which is part of the Prairie Avenue District.

    Photograph of the John J. Glessner House (1800 S. Prairie Ave.), a "Richardsonian Romanesque" mansion by H.H. Richardson completed in 1886. The house was deeded to the Armour Institute of Technology, and was envisioned as the home of the institute's College of Architecture. The Glessner House served as the headquarters of the Lithographic Technical Foundation from 1946-1965. Photographer unknown

    Analysis of GWAS top hits in ADHD suggests association to two polymorphisms located in genes expressed in the cerebellum

    Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder influenced by genetic factors. Several chromosomal regions with potential linkage and candidate genes associations have been reported, but findings are often inconsistent and non-replicated. The few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) carried out so far differ for study design and phenotypes analyzed, and did not detect any association significant at the genome-wide level. In the present study we examined the top SNPs reported in the GWAS by Neale et al. [2008] in an independent cohort. Although our sample size is smaller (415 trios vs. 909), the power was sufficient to confirm the role of candidate markers in ADHD if a true association exists. Two out of 36 top SNPs were significant at alpha = 0.05 in our sample, although none was still significant after correction for multiple tests. These two SNPs are both located in genes coding for as yet uncharacterized proteins expressed in the cerebellum, XKR4 in 8q12.1, and FAM190A in 4q22.1. Three other FAM190A SNPs have TDT P-values of <10(-5) in our sample, a level of significance only reached by a total of five SNPs in our genome-wide data. While these findings could be due to chance, we cannot exclude that these markers are indeed associated to disease risk. Remarkably, brain imaging studies have shown reduction of the posterior inferior cerebellar lobules volume of ADHD boys and girls compared to controls, persistent with age and not present in unaffected siblings, suggesting that the cerebellum may be directly related to pathophysiology of ADHD.
