Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related symptom dimensions of inattention and hyperactivity have been shown to be more prevalent in the relatives of probands with ADHD than in relatives of controls. This familiality has been shown to be heritable in both twin studies and segregat

Converging evidence from family, twin, and adoption studies points to a substantial genetic component of the etiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These data about ADHD have motivated molecular genetic studies of the disorder, which have produced intriguing but somewhat confli
## Abstract Given evidence from twin, family, and adoption studies of genetic influence on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a growing number of researchers have initiated molecular genetics studies to explore the influence of specific genes on this condition. In 1999, these investig
