Chromosome 15 duplication has been associated with a number of psychiatric illnesses including psychosis and autism. However, literature on association with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is scant.

The need for better understanding ADHD as a behavioral phenotype in such cases along with need for tailored management strategies is emphasized.
