Molecular Genetics of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Molecular genetic studies suggest that genes play a strong role in mediating susceptibility to ADHD, with seven significant genes identified: DRD4, DRD5, DAT, DBH, 5-HTT, HTR1B, and SNAP-25.

The worldwide prevalence of ADHD: is it an American condition?
ADHD prevalence is as high in many non-US children as in US children, challenging the belief that it is primarily an American disorder.

Two regions, 16p13 and 17p11, are highly likely to harbor risk genes for ADHD, which have previously been identified in autism genomewide scans.
