Table III:

Genes causing prevalent and well-studied single-gene ID disorders with behavioral and cognitive overlap with ADHD and/or ASD.

Gene Protein Chr position Associated ID disorder Reported rate of ASD-related phenotype Reported rate of ADHD-related phenotype
FMR1 Fragile X mental retardation protein Xq27 Fragile X syndrome 30% [Hagerman and others 2009] 59% [Sullivan and others 2006]

NF1 Neurofibromin 17q11 Neurofibromatosis type 1 40% [Walsh and others 2013] 38% [Hyman and others 2005]

TSC1 Hamartin 9q34 Tuberous sclerosis complex 50% [Prather and de Vries 2004] 30-60% [D’Agati and others 2009]
TSC2 Tuberin 16p13

MECP2 Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 Xq28 Rett syndrome 42-58% [Wulffaert and others 2009] unknown

CACNA1C Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C 12p13 Timothy syndrome 60% [Splawski and others 2004] unknown

Phenotypic overlap as adapted from [Vorstman and Ophoff 2013]; ID= intellectual disability; ASD= Autism spectrum disorder; ADHD= Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; Chr= chromosome; no imaging genetics studies found.
