A genetic investigation of sex bias in the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

2017-06-23

Abstract excerpt

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) shows substantial heritability and is 2-7 times more common in males than females. We examined two putative genetic mechanisms underlying this sex bias: sex-specific heterogeneity and higher burden of risk in female cases. We analyzed genome-wide common variants from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium and iPSYCH Project (20,183 cases, 35,191 controls) and Swedish po...
