Conclusions Ideally, one day specific genes with major effects and specific risk factors with which they interact will be identified and we will be able to implement personalized medicine. Knowledge of such genes will allow us to identify specific diagnostic biological markers. In addition, defining the target genes is the first step in developing novel drug therapies to treat the ADHD symptoms that lead to impairment. Furthermore, such markers could also identify at risk individuals at a younger age in order to implement treatments sooner to decrease the severity of ADHD symptoms or even to prevent future ADHD symptomatology.
