Genetic and environmental contributions to co-occurring physical health conditions in autism spectrum condition and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The nature of the association between autism and ADHD behavioral phenotypes and these physical health conditions, and the potential shared etiological pathways has received growing scientific interest. Five previous studies had examined genetic correlations between autism or ADHD and physical health conditions or physical/physiological parameters (e_g, asthma, migraine, height, triglycerides, fasting glucose). Genetic contributions to autism and ADHD are likely to be distributed continuously in the general population, indicating gradually convergent patterns of co-occurring physical health conditions from behavioral traits to clinical diagnosis for these conditions. To unravel the genetic and environmental . . .
