Abstract

Neuropsychiatric disorders affecting children, such as attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia, and autism are considered familial with estimated heritability rates of 75, 78, 84, and 93%, respectively (Tsuang, Glatt, & Faraone, 2006), suggesting that genes confer the major risk susceptibility.
