Approximately one-half of parents who themselves had ADHD as children have a child with this disorder. However, the role of genetics in ADHD is complicated. ADHD runs in families and many parents go through their childhood and early adulthood with undiagnosed ADHD only to discover their own diagnosis when a child's symptoms bring him or her to clinical attention. Between 10% and 35% of children with ADHD have a first-degree relative with past or present ADHD.
