Although our CNV detection platform is of high resolution, common CNV regions are underrepresented; it remains to be determined whether use of a higher resolution platform or a sequencing approach would alter the distribution curve of implicated genes. Nevertheless, our approach has identified a number of intriguing candidates that support a potential role of CNVs in ADHD, and it also suggests a number of candidate genes that may help to explain the spectrum of phenotypic heterogeneity observed in ADHD and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
