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]
  • the 7-repeat allele of the DRD4 gene,[2] and


Main article: ADHD - DRD4
  • the dopamine beta hydroxylase gene (DBH TaqI).[3]
