I once went to a seminar put on by Dr. Russell Barkley, who some call the king of ADHD research. He was presenting the results of a meta-analysis he did on ADHD and included in this was the genetic component. Apparently they have isolated the specific genes involved in having ADHD.

Apparently, there are about twenty of them and if you have at least seven of these in your DNA then you will have ADHD. What’s especially interesting is that which genes are present determines not only how the symptoms will manifest, but what medications work best!
