Aandachtstekortstoornis met hyperactiviteit (ADHD) is een multifactoriële en klinisch heterogene aandoening die wordt geassocieerd met een enorme financiële last, stress op gezinnen en negatieve academische en beroepsonderwijs uitkomsten
ADHD is een klinisch heterogene aandoening waaraan meerdere factoren ten grondslag liggen.
Twin and adoption studies show that ADHD has a strong genetic component, with heritability estimated at 76%
Genen, omgevingsfactoren en diens gen-omgevingsinteracties (G×E’s) spelen een rol bij het ontstaan en de ontwikkeling van ADHD-symptomen. Echter, de invloed van deze factoren op het lange termijnbeloop van ADHD-symptomen is nog onvoldoende onderzocht. Het doel van ons onderzoek (onderdeel TRacking Adolescents’ Individual Lives Survey [TRAILS]) was om te kijken hoe verschillende leefdomeinen (o.a., stress, opvoeding, perinatale factoren), genen en G×E’s een rol spelen bij de ontwikkeling van ADHD-symptomen gedurende de adolescentie (10-18 jaar). Enkele resultaten:
Jongeren met ADHD symptomen lopen het risico om meer stressvolle gebeurtenissen mee te maken maar dit effect is afhenkelijk van leeftijd en of zij een bepaald gen (S-allel HTTLPR)
De invloed van interacties tussen genen en perinatale factoren hebben met name invloed op het beloop van ADHD symptomen tijdens de vroege adolescentie maar dit effect neemt af naarmate jongeren ouder worden.
Therefore, we were interested in relationship between ADHD symptoms and stress. A growing literature implicates an association between life stressors (e.g. family and peer conflicts) and ADHD. On the other hand, it is often implied that life stressors may enhance ADHD symptoms. Surprisingly, few have examined the impact of ADHD symptoms on subsequent exposure to life stressors. For example, a prospective cohort study found that 5-year-olds with ADHD symptoms and problem behaviors were at elevated risk of becoming more socially isolated at age 12. Furhtermore, it has been reported that 5-year-olds with ADHD symptoms were at elevated risk of social isolation at age 12 years, but not the other way around (Matthews et al., 2015).
However, it is very important this associations within the genetic conext of the 5-HTTLPR. A few recent studies have shown moderation of the relation between life stressors and ADHD by the serotonin transporter polymorphism. S-allele carriers were more reactive to life stress. Notably, in a large two-wave study of adolescents with (subthreshold) ADHD, only S-allele carriers showed a prospective positive association between life stressors and severity of ADHD symptoms, but not L-allele. This is in line with previous studies investigating this specific G×E on internalizing disorders. Specifically , the 5-HTTLPR S-allele has been shown to modify an individual’s response to stress and has been linked to increased stress sensitivity and reactivity compared to L-allele homozygotes, due to increased amygdala activation in response to emotional stimuli. The potentially differentiating role of the 5-HTTLPR genotype in the influence of ADHD symptoms on the exposure to life stressors is less straightforward. However, it is conceivable that S-allele carriers evoke more interpersonal conflict as part of their personal characteristics and behaviors. In these individuals also higher stress sensitivity may play a role, resulting in increased exposure to life stressors.
Moreover, the role of genetic and environmental risk factors for ADHD has been suggested to vary across development. it is necessary to distinguish between person-related (‘dependent’) and environment-related (‘independent’) life stressors, The genetic and environmental origins of these stressors have been found to vary over adolescent development, which may suggest different developmental risk pathways of stress exposure in relation to psychopathology over time. Person-related life stressors are thought to be mainly ‘dependent’ on a person’s behavior and personality traits and are more genetically influenced than environment-related stressors, with genetic factors increasing in magnitude during the transition to adolescence. Environment-related life stressors are thought to occur in a person’s environment largely ‘independent’ of the person’s direct involvement and personal traits and are less genetically influenced than dependent stressors; shared environmental influences appear to play a greater role in exposure to life stressors in childhood, with decreasing influences during adolescence. This is in line with adolescents’ social-emotional development towards personality building and growing into independence. This sensitive period of life is typically characterized by increasing peer influences and social relations, self-awareness, sensitivity to environmental social cues (particularly social acceptance), inter-personal conflicts, and mental health problems, resulting from personal experiences, maturation, and neurobiological changes, which may make the developing adolescent more susceptible to person-related life stressors. In sum, we assume that with increasing adolescent age, person-related stressors are of greater importance in the relation between life stressors and ADHD symptoms than environment-related life stressors, while the role of the latter likely prevails during early adolescence, a period characterized by the child’s greater dependency on the family system and a possibly greater susceptibility to independent environment-related stressors than in later adolescence.
