“…To be included in the study, children had to meet the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (2000) Conners Parents Rating Scale, a 48-item questionnaire (Dugas, Albert, Halfon, & NedeySayag, 1987) that screens for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). None of the children with DCD presented scores above the cutoff score on the hyperactivity and impulsivity scale from Goyette, Conners, and Ulrich (1978). Furthermore, two computerized attention tasks assessing inhibition and flexibility (the Simon inhibition task adapted for children by Catale, Germain, and Meulemans, 2011; the flexibility task from the TAP battery, Zimmermann & Fimm, 1994) and a digit span test (WISC-IV, (Wechsler, 2005) were administrated to all children (results on the executive tasks are presented in Table 1).…”

Several candidate gene polymorphisms have been implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including DAT1 40bp VNTR, DRD4 7+, and DBH TaqI A2 alleles. We used the Milwaukee longitudinal study of hyperactive (N=122) and normal (N=67) children to compare participants with and without these respective polymorphisms on ADHD-related behavioral ratings at childhood, 8 years later in adolescence, and 13+ years later into young adulthood. Neuropsychological tests were given at the adolescent and young adulthood follow-up. No differences were found between the DRD4-7+ and 7-repeat polymorphism. The DBH TaqI A2 allele, when homozygous, was associated with being more hyperactive in childhood, having more pervasive behavior problems at adolescence, and earning less money on a Card Playing Task in adulthood. At adolescence, poorer test scores were also found only in the hyperactive group with homozygous for this allele. The DAT1 40bp VNTR heterozygous 9/10 repeat, however, differed from the 10/10 repeat pair in many respects, having greater ADHD and externalizing symptoms at all three follow-ups, more cross-situational behavioral problems at both childhood and adolescence, poorer mother-teen relations at adolescence, and lower class rankings in high school. Participants with the 9/10 pair in the control group also had lower work performance, a lower grade point average in high school, greater teacher rated externalizing symptoms at adolescence, and greater omission errors on a continuous performance test in adulthood. The DAT1 40bp VNTR 9/10 polymorphism pairing appears to be reliably associated with greater symptoms of ADHD and externalizing behavior from childhood to adulthood, and with family, educational, and occupational impairments. We also present a contrary view on the appropriate endophenotypes for use in behavioral genetic research on ADHD.Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or what was previously diagnosed as Hyperactive Child Syndrome, are characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattentive, impulsive, and hyperactive behavior that arise early in childhood and occur across multiple settings (American Psychiatric Association, 1968, 1980, 2001. Follow-up studies of hyperactive children suggest that from 35-80 percent of NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript cases diagnosed in childhood will persist into adolescence Gittelman et al., 1985). By adulthood, 49-66% will have significant symptoms of the disorder or meet diagnostic criteria for it (Barkley et al., 2002;Mannuzza et al., 1993Mannuzza et al., ,1998 Rasmussen & Gillberg, 2002;Weiss and Hechtman, 1993).Biological relatives of children with the disorder are more likely to have ADHD (Biederman et al. 1990, Biederman et al. 1992, Biederman et al. 1995, Maher et al. 1999, Samuel et al. 1999. Numerous twin studies found that genetic factors account for the majority of variance in this trait with an average heritability of .75-.80, with more recent studies u...

Objective: Sleep problems have often been associated with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Parents of those with ADHD and children with ADHD report sleep difficulties more frequently than healthy children and their parents. The primary objective of this paper is to describe sleep patterns and problems of 5 to 11-year-old children suffering from ADHD as described by parental reports and sleep questionnaires. Method: The study included 321 children aged 5–11 years (average age 8.4 years); 45 were diagnosed with ADHD, 64 had other psychiatric diagnoses, and 212 were healthy. One hundred and ninety-six of the test subjects were boys and 125 were girls. A semi-structured interview (Kiddie-SADS-PL) was used to DSM-IV diagnose ADHD and comorbidity in the clinical group. Sleep difficulties were rated using a structured sleep questionnaire (Children Sleep Behaviour Scale). Results: Children diagnosed with ADHD had a significantly increased occurrence of sleep problems. Difficulties relating to bedtime and unsettled sleep were significantly more frequent in the ADHD group than in the other groups. Children with ADHD showed prolonged sleep onset latency, but no difference was shown regarding numbers of awakenings per night and total sleep time per night. Comorbid oppositional defiant disorder appeared not to have an added effect on problematic behaviour around bedtime. Conclusion: Parents of children with ADHD report that their children do not sleep properly more often than other parents. The ADHD group report problems with bedtime resistance, problems with sleep onset latency, unsettled sleep and nightmares more often than the control groups. It may therefore be relevant for clinicians to initiate a closer examination of those cases reporting sleep difficulties
