Abstract excerpt

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) begins in early childhood. In this article we review the studies supporting a genetic background of this disorder. ADHD occurs in 3-10% of the general population. Family studies reveal a 5 times more likely frequency of ADHD among first-degree relatives than in the general population. Monozygotic twin concordance rate for ADHD is 81%, whereas for dizygotic twins it...
