Abstract

Genetic and environmental contributions to the inattention and impulsivity-hyperactivity associated with ADHD in 576 twin boys, aged 11 and 12 years, participants in the Minnesota Twin Family Study, were estimated by teacher ratings and maternal interviews in a report from the Department of Psychology and the Institute of Human Genetics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
