Once you identify 27 different variants as being linked to ADHD, a lot of people are going to have at least one of those variants. That doesn’t mean they have ADHD, because the correlation to any singular variant is insignificant. But a lot of people are going to find one or two or three of these variants and assume, wrongly, that it means they have ADHD. The more variants that are “linked to” a condition, the more people will have at least one of those variants and get confused. When you have as many as 27 variants linked, it could be the case that virtually everyone has at least one of those variants, depending on how common they are. These aren’t diagnostic for ADHD in any way. They’re more of loose correlational hints for further research.
