Family and twin studies have shown that there is a substantial genetic contribution to both reading disabilities (RD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and recent twin studies have suggested that the overlap between these phenotypes is largely due to common genetic influences. Studies using a linkage approach to search for genes for susceptibility to RD and ADHD have identified regions linked...
