Genetic Markers for ADHD Influence Early Toddler Activity Levels

Genetic markers for ADHD influence early toddler activity levels

A toddler's activity levels are influenced by genetic differences, with some of the same genetic markers also linked to Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the University of Surrey.

Scientists Link Genetic Variations Influencing Toddler Activity to ADHD

In a groundbreaking study set to reshape our understanding of early childhood development, researchers from the University of Surrey have identified specific genetic variations that influence toddler activity levels. This unprecedented research, led by Professor Angelica Ronald, illuminates how these genetic markers are not only pivotal in shaping a child’s activity in their earliest years but also share significant overlap with genes associated…
