The genetic relationship between ADHD and shortened telomeres points to neurodevelopmental mechanisms.
Publication: July 08, 2026
The main objective of this work was to understand the relationship between telomere length, a biological marker of aging, and ADHD. Both cellular aging and ADHD have genetic bases, but are they shared? This was the question we tried to answer, and we discovered that both share a neurodevelopmental component. In other words, the mechanisms behind biological aging are also related to ADHD.
