Have severe problems focusing? Distracted by the littlest things? Inattentive? Well, it turns out it may be in your genes (if you have ADHD, that is). Scientists have found that there is a large link between an anomaly in the chromosome 1p36 and Attention Hyperactivity Disorder. After studying 1094 white families, the study concluded that the chromosome difference was present in many of the families, around 55 or 5.1%. With such significant experimental results, it is possible the chromosome is linked to the development of ADHD.
