- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often occur together and have genetic components influencing their risk.
- In a study of 39 families, researchers found that known genetic variants explained about 10% of the variance in comorbid ASD/ADHD, with lower contributions for ASD (4%) and ADHD (2%) individually.
