Does ADHD be hereditary?

Patient's question:

Can ADHD be inherited?

Doctor's answer:

ADHD is related to genetics. Current research indicates that ADHD is associated with genetic factors, with a heritability of 0.75-0.91. The mode of inheritance is still unclear and may be polygenic. Molecular genetics studies suggest that this disorder is related to the polymorphism of dopamine receptor genes. 30%—40% of children with ADHD have family members with the condition. I recommend you can go to a children's hospital to complete relevant examinations. In daily life, with the baby, communicate more and interact more.
