Children with a higher polygenic index for ADHD tend to see a higher likelihood of their parents separating or divorcing. The findings suggest that families are dynamic systems where a child’s inherited characteristics can actively shape the life trajectories…
📈 Children with a higher genetic likelihood of ADHD are linked to increased parental separation or divorce, suggesting children's inherited traits can influence family dynamics.
🔬 A one standard deviation increase in a child's ADHD polygenic index predicted a 7% relative increase in the odds of parental separation or divorce.
👧 This association was stronger in families with daughters, with an 11% increase in parental dissolution odds for each standard deviation increase in the ADHD polygenic index.
👨👩👧👦 In families with above-average educational attainment, a child's ADHD genetic risk was linked to a 15% rise in partnership dissolution odds.
