Regulators of Wnt Signaling Dkk‐1 and Notum Are Elevated in Pediatric ADHD

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Wnt signaling has increasingly drawn attention in discussions of ADHD, yet the peripheral status of its upstream regulators remains largely uncharted. In this study, we examined circulating levels of four key modulators of this pathway—Dkk‐1, PORCN, Notum, and Tiki‐1—in a sample of children and adolescents with an ADHD diagnosis.
