Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often have comorbid Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). This project will utilise the expertise of leading researchers in Australia and the Netherlands to investigate the genetic and diagnostic relationship between these two disorders utilising a large sample of twins and their siblings. We will examine the neuropsychological functioning in these groups of children in order to gain a better understanding of their genetic relationship. These findings will provide insight into the current DSM-IV classification of these disorders compared with other models used to investigate the relationship between poor motor coordination and ADHD.

注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)儿童常伴有发育协调障碍(DCD)。该项目将利用澳大利亚和荷兰领先研究人员的专业知识，利用大样本双胞胎及其兄弟姐妹调查这两种疾病之间的遗传和诊断关系。我们将检查这些儿童群体的神经心理功能，以更好地了解他们的遗传关系。这些发现将为目前DSM-IV对这些疾病的分类提供洞察，与其他用于研究运动协调性差与ADHD之间的关系的模型相比。
