Hyperactivity syndrome is one of those issues that many parents are between the eyes to see their children unable to remain one minute sitting. In some cases they are simply “small fry” (children can not sit still), and other hyperactivity: a matter of inheritance. Genetics is a key factor in the development of this behavior.

They are children who have more problems with hyperactivity (also called formally attention deficit disorder or hyperactivity, ADHD-), and heredity seems to play a key factor in the development of this behavior that makes you look helpless to stop moving.

At least that’s the conclusion reached in the Neuropsychiatry Centre, Genetics and Genomics at the University of Cardiff (UK), according to a study been made in detailing that if one parent suffers from hyperactivity, the probability of a child to suffer increases significantly. This is enhanced in the case of twins: if one of them will suffer, the probability that they suffer the other brother rises to 75 percent.

Thus, it appears that the genetic component plays an important role in a disease that still do not know too much, and that affects between 8 and 12 percent of the child population figures are increasing.

The environmental and biological are other factors that may also be involved in hyperactivity. The pace of life of children and their families, together with the aforementioned genetic component seem to have an important bearing on the development of hyperactivity in the infant stage, a problem whose causes are still walking a little fuzzy.
