Causal relationships between ADHD, ASD and brain structure: A mendelian randomization study

Key Points

• Causal relationships show that ADHD influences brain structure, and interacts with ASD.
• A key finding is that specific genetic variations relate to changes in brain structure in ADHD and ASD.
• This research employs mendelian randomization to analyze causal effects of ADHD and ASD on brain development.
• Understanding these relationships could help in developing targeted interventions and treatments.
