Common Genetic Influence on the Relationship Between Gaming Addiction and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Young Adults: A Twin Study
2024
Overview
Although the relationship between gaming addiction (GA) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is well established, the causal mechanism of this relationship remains ambiguous. We aimed to investigate whether common genetic and/or environmental factors explain the GA-ADHD relationship. We recruited 1413 South Korean adult twins (837 monozygotic [MZ], 326 same-sex dizygotic [DZ], and 250 opposite-sex DZ twins; mean age = 23.1 ± 2.8 years) who completed an online survey on GA and related traits. Correlational analysis and bivariate model-fitting analysis were conducted. Phenotypic correlation between GA and ADHD in the present sample was 0.55 (95% CI [0.51, 0.59]). Bivariate model-fitting analysis revealed that genetic variances were 69% (95% CI [64%, 73%]) and 68% (95% CI [63%, 72%]) for ADHD and GA respectively. The remaining variances (ADHD: 31%; GA: 32%) were associated with nonshared environmental variances, including measurement error. Genetic and nonshared environmental correlations between ADHD and GA were 0.68 (95% CI [0.62, 0.74]) and 0.22 (95% CI [0.13, 0.30]) respectively, which indicates that shared genes can explain 82% of the phenotypic correlation between ADHD and GA. Our study demonstrated that the ADHD-GA association was largely due to shared genetic vulnerability.
