El trastorno por déficit de atención / hiperactividad (TDAH) es el trastorno del desarrollo neurológico infantil más común, y los varones tienen entre dos y tres veces más probabilidades de desarrollar TDAH. El síndrome de ovario poliquístico materno (PCOS), un trastorno metabólico común asociado al exceso de andrógenos circulantes, se ha asociado con un mayor riesgo de trastorno del espectro autista en la descendencia. En este estudio, se pretende investigar si el PCOS materno aumenta el riesgo de TDAH en la descendencia.
