Anita Thapar - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Anita Thapar is a prominent researcher affiliated with the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University in the UK. Her work primarily focuses on the genetic and neuropsychiatric aspects of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related conditions. Through her research, she aims to enhance the understanding of the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development and trajectory of neuropsychiatric conditions.

Research Contributions

Anita Thapar has made substantial contributions to the field of neuropsychiatric genetics, particularly in understanding ADHD. Her research explores various dimensions of ADHD, including its genetic underpinnings, developmental trajectories, and associated conditions such as sleep disturbances and educational outcomes. Her work in collecting genetic samples and linked mental health data from adolescents in schools underscores her commitment to integrating genetic research with practical mental health solutions. Thapar's research extends to examining the causal links between genetic liability to ADHD and ASD and educational attainment, as well as investigating the effects of early life injuries on ADHD development.
