Abstract

The objective of this presentation is to assess the role of genetic risk factors in common pediatric mental health disorders. Polygenic risk scores analysis, a review of the literature, and machine learning approaches were used to examine the contributions of genes to the pathophysiology of common disorders. Findings reveal that genes contribute significantly to the risk of mood disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder. Research on the genetic contributions to common pediatric mental health disorders should be expanded.
