Are adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) features truly the same as childhood ADHD?

EN Genetic risk for psychiatric disorders is linked to emotional and behavioural problems in children without a diagnosis
EN Genetic susceptibility to developing ADHD shows the strongest association with mental health problems during childhood and adolescence, compared to genetic risk for other psychiatric conditions.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

1. DNA methylation was more strongly associated with child health outcomes when both were measured concurrently in childhood.
2. However, the number of significantly associated DNA methylation sites was not necessarily larger, sometimes even higher when DNA methylation was measured at birth!

When do epigenetics matter most for child health? At birth, predicting later development? Or are effects stronger, when measured at the same time as the child health outcome? Our new findings suggest that the answer may depend on how you define relevance.
