Recent developments in molecular genetics have accelerated the search for susceptibility
genes for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition, several attempts
have been made to better understand the inherited phenotypes of ADHD by examining
neuropsychological constructs that may be related to the manifestation of the disorder.
Papers in this section demonstrate that significant progress has been made over the
last decade in understanding the genetics and phenotype of ADHD. This concluding commentary
suggests additional approaches for future work.
