Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) offer the benefit of a hypothesis-free approach to measuring the quantitative effect of genetic variants on affection status. Generally the findings of GWAS relying on ADHD status have been non-significant, but the one study using quantitative measures of symptoms found SLC9A9 and SLC6A1 were associated with inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity. Accordingly, we performed a GWAS using quantitative…

Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
TLDR
A genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 individuals diagnosed with ADHD and 35,191 controls identifies variants surpassing genome- wide significance in 12 independent loci and implicates neurodevelopmental pathways and conserved regions of the genome as being involved in underlying ADHD biology.
Utility of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Trait Measure in Population Genetics: A Polygenic Risk Study
TLDR
The SWAN is useful for genetic research because it predicts ADHD diagnoses with high sensitivity and specificity and is associated with ADHD polygenic risk.
Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for ADHD
TLDR
The hypothesis that clinical diagnosis of ADHD is an extreme expression of one or more continuous heritable traits is supported, supported by additional analyses of a self-reported ADHD sample and a study of quantitative measures of ADHD symptoms in the population.
Utility of the SWAN Scale for ADHD Trait-Based Genetic Research: A Validity and Polygenic Risk Study
TLDR
The parent- and self-report SWAN measures showed high convergent validity with established ADHD measures and distinguished ADHD participants with high sensitivity and specificity in the community sample, and are potentially useful in genetic research because they predict ADHD diagnoses and are associated with ADHD polygenic risk.
Single nucleotide polymorphism heritability and differential patterns of genetic overlap between inattention and four neurocognitive factors in youth
TLDR
Results suggest specificity in genetic overlap among inattention and different aspects of neurocognitive efficiency in memory, social cognition, executive function, and complex cognition.
SWAN scale for ADHD trait-based genetic research: a validity and polygenic risk study.
TLDR
The convergent and predictive validity of the parent- and self-report versions of the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior Rating Scale (SWAN) are reported and their potential in ADHD population-based genetic research is supported.

Gene‐set and multivariate genome‐wide association analysis of oppositional defiant behavior subtypes in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

TLDR
Inadequate parenting behavior was significantly associated with all ODD dimensions and subtypes, most strongly with defiant/vindictive behaviors, and the GWAS did not result in genome‐wide significant findings but bioinformatics and literature analyses revealed that the proteins encoded by 28 of the 53 top‐ranked genes functionally interact in a molecular landscape centered around Beta‐catenin signaling and involved in the regulation of neurite outgrowth.
Genetics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
TLDR
From studies of copy number variants, it is learned that the rare insertions or deletions account for part of ADHD’s heritability, which has implicated new biological pathways that may eventually have implications for treatment development.
The molecular genetic architecture of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
TLDR
A state-of-the-art review of the molecular genetics of ADHD incorporating evidence from candidate gene and linkage designs, as well as genome-wide association studies of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and rare copy number variations (CNVs).

TLDR
None of the SNP association tests achieved genome‐wide significance, indicating that larger samples may be required to identify risk loci for ADHD, and a systemic bias in family‐based association is identified.
The genetic and environmental contributions to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as measured by the Conners' Rating Scales--Revised.
TLDR
The genetic analyses are consistent with prior reports that ADHD is predominantly influenced by genetic factors that are both dominant and additive, and an appropriate percentage of children across this epidemiologic twin sample as being at risk for ADHD.

Internal and external validity of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in a population-based sample of adults
TLDR
The results support the internal and external validity of ADHD in adults between 18 and 75 years, and show that ADHD is not merely a child psychiatric disorder that persists into young adulthood, but an important and unique manifestation of psychopathology across the lifespan.
Genetic and Environmental Influences on the Relation Between Attention Problems and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
TLDR
The genetic overlap between questionnaire ratings and the DSM-IV diagnosis of ADHD is high and the genetic correlations among the measures collected at age 12 varied between .63 and 1.00.
A Population-Based Study of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms and Associated Impairment in Middle-Aged Adults
TLDR
It is suggested that ADHD symptoms continue to be associated with ill-health and functional impairment in mid-life and are, therefore, likely to be a major, previously unrecognized source of late-life morbidity with associated social and economic costs.
Observer effects and heritability of childhood attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms.
TLDR
Both parent- and teacher- rated data showed a high degree of heritability for ADHD measured as a symptom dimension, but the correlation between the two types of rater was modest and bivariate analyses suggested that parent and teacher ratings reflect the effects of different genes.
Meta-analysis shows significant association between dopamine system genes and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
TLDR
There is a statistically significant association between ADHD and dopamine system genes, especially DRD4 and DRD5, and these findings strongly implicate the involvement of brain dopamine systems in the pathogenesis of ADHD.
