Article Synopsis
- 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.
- The study indicates that individuals with adult ASD/ADHD needing ongoing specialist care carry a higher burden of rare genetic variants compared to unaffected family members, while affected relatives show intermediate levels.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently co-occur and show high genetic correlation. With the introduction of DSM-5, there is a new concept of an ASD and/or ADHD spectrum (ASD/ADHD). This study aimed to identify predictors of severity and need of healthcare within this spectrum.
