A Genetic Study of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Reading Disability: Aetiological overlaps and implications

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) commonly co‐occurs with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder and Reading Disability. Twin studies are an important approach to understanding and modelling potential causes of such comorbidity. Univariate and bivariate genetic models were fitted to maternal report data from 2040 families of twins from the Australian Twin ADHD Project. All measures showed a heritability of over 0.8 and little role for the common family environment, except for the combined subtype of ADHD with a heritability of 0.69 and a common environment of 0.19. About one‐third of the genetic variance in ADHD was shared with the other behaviours, the largest overlap being with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Common environmental effects were shared between the combined ADHD subtype and the other measures. Some implications of these findings for home and school are discussed.

  • The covariation between ADHD, ODD, and CD is mostly attributed to genetic influences.

  • CD is strongly associated with the impulsive form of ADHD (ADHD-HI), but exhibits a weaker relationship with the inattentive form (ADHD-I), with shared genetic heritability of 37% and 35%, respectively.

  • Existing literature is sufficiently consistent to conclude that comorbidity between CD, ODD, and ADHD may be primarily attributed to genetic influence and unique environment effects.

    “existing literature seems to be su ffi ciently consistent to conclude that it may be primarily attributed to genetic in fl uence (Dick et al., 2005; Martin et al., 2006; Nadder et al., 2002; Tuvblad et al., 2009) and unique environment e ff ects”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
