Current genetic research indicates that specific underlying genetic variations and polygenic risk profiles contribute significantly to the development and heritability of ADHD.

The analysis

The retrieved literature (specifically papers 1, 2, and 5) provides strong genomic and transcriptomic evidence showing that ADHD is heritable and associated with specific genetic variations, risk genes, and polygenic scores. Papers 0, 3, 4, 6, and 7 are tangential or focus on other conditions/methods without contradicting the genetic basis of ADHD.
