The Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder‐Associated <scp><i>DRD4</i> 7R</scp> Allele Predicts Household Economic Status but Not Nutritional Status in Northern Kenyan Rendille Children
The failure to replicate an association between DRD4 7R and nutritional status might be due to this sample being of children who are not yet substantially provisioning themselves. Given that children's genotypes are correlated with parents' genotypes, it is likely that the effects of the parents' genotypes, rather than the participating children's, explain the association between children's DRD4 7R genotype and household economic success.
