estimates in the range of 0.6-0.9. Larsson et al. 2014
(doi: 10.1017/S0033291713002493 ) reported the concordance values
shown in the table below for pairs of monozygotic (MZ) or dizygotic (DZ) twins
with data for male and female pairs shown separately, using data from the
Swedish twin register (59,000 twin pairs, born between 1959 and 2001).

Step 1: Brief Introduction

The complex neurodevelopmental disorder ADHD affects many people. The available evidence points to the considerable influence of genetic factors on the onset of this disorder. Healthcare practitioners must acknowledge the hereditary nature of ADHD to better understand how genetics and environmental elements collaborate to trigger this condition. We will analyze findings from a study conducted by Larsson et al. (2014) to investigate the prevalence of ADHD in both genders and assess the extent of its genetic predisposition. This research drew upon data from the Swedish twin registry.
