 * ADHD affects about 7% of school-age children in the United States.
 * Up to 75% of people with autism spectrum disorders also have symptoms of ADHD but people did not know if the genetic causes were the same as in people who have ADHD alone.
 * But about 8% of people with ADHD have missing or extra copies certain genes that may cause or contribute to the disorder.


 * An examination of DNA from parents of 173 of the children in the new study showed that ADHD associated gene copy differences are usually inhered from a parent who also has the disorder.
 * However, the study found no connection between tobacco exposure after a child is born and ADHD.
