Stewart, S. Evelyn; Illmann, Cornelia; Geller, Daniel A.; Leckman, James F.; King, Robert; Pauls, David L. – Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2006
Objective: Although attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently comorbid with Tourette's disorder (TD), it is unclear whether they have a common genetic etiology. Familial relationships between DSM-IVADHD and TD are studied in TD + ADHD, TD-only (TD-ADHD), ADHD-only (ADHD-TD), and control groups. Method: Case-control,…
