This is our latest publication, just published today. It is a genetic study that accessed databases and employed 7,171,168 subjects. The results revealed a shared genetic relationship between ADHD and narcolepsy (Genes: FOXP2, RBFOX1, and GRIN2A). This study was groundbreaking not only because of its results, but also due to the technique used.
