The genetics of cognitive deficits in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种常见的儿童精神障碍，其特征是与年龄不相称的注意力不集中和/或多动冲动。这种疾病似乎是遗传的，许多不同的基因可能会增加多动症的风险。这个项目采用了一种创新的方法，通过询问是否有不同的基因特征与患有多动症的儿童有或没有神经认知缺陷有关。

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder of childhood that is marked by age-inappropriate levels of inattention and-or hyperactivity-impulsivity. The disorder appears genetic with a number of different genes likely contributing risk for ADHD. This project takes an innovative approach by asking whether there are different genetic profiles associated with children with ADHD who do or do not have neurocognitive deficits.
