The exact cause of ADHD remains unknown. Research suggests that ADHD arises from a combination of various genes, many of which affect dopamine transporters.[1]
Suspect genes include:
- the 10-repeat allele of the DAT1 gene,[2]
- Main article: ADHD - DRD4
- the dopamine beta hydroxylase gene (DBH TaqI).[3]
