Autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder associated with shared and disorder-specific genetic variants 👨‍🔬 If a gene varies slightly in one way, this can lead to the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Conversely, if the gene varies slightly in a different way, this can result in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research in Denmark shows that ADHD and ASD share many genetic traits but also differ. A researcher says that these differences can be used to improve diagnosis and develop medicines for the people with these disorders.
