- Abstract
Examples include learning disabilities, intellectual disability, conduct disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This special issue of I Behavior Genetics i addresses the genetic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders with a focus on the two most common, highly heritable conditions, namely ADHD and ASD. ADHD and ASD frequently co-occur (Rommelse et al. [38]), and both disorders are in addition often comorbid with other problems such as anxiety, depression and sleep problems (Mohammadi et al. [29]). These results contradict the findings of genetic correlations between ADHD and ASD as reported in previous twin studies in children (Taylor et al. [46]), and the latest ASD GWAS (Grove et al. [16]).
