Investigating heterogeneity across autism, ADHD, and typical development using measures of cortical thickness, surface area, cortical/subcortical volume, and structural covariance by Younes Sadat-Nejad, Younes Sadat-Nejad, Marlee M. Vandewouw, Marlee M. Vandewouw, R. Cardy, J. Lerch, J. Lerch, J. Lerch, M. J. Taylor, M. J. Taylor, A. Iaboni, C. Hammill, B. Syed, J. A. Brian, J. A. Brian, E. Kelley, E. Kelley, E. Kelley, M. Ayub, J. Crosbie, J. Crosbie, R. Schachar, R. Schachar, S. Georgiades, R. Nicolson, E. Anagnostou, E. Anagnostou, A. Kushki, A. Kushki

“…We integrated cortical thickness, surface area, and cortical/subcortical volume, with a measure of single-participant structural covariance using a graph neural network approach.ResultsOur findings suggest two large clusters, which differed in measures of adaptive functioning (χ2 = 7.8, P = 0.004), inattention (χ2 = 11.169, P < 0.001), hyperactivity (χ2 = 18.44, P < 0.001), IQ (χ2 = 9.24, P = 0.002), age (χ2 = 70.87, P < 0.001), and sex (χ2 = 105.6, P < 0.001).DiscussionThese clusters did not align with existing diagnostic labels, suggesting that brain structure is more likely to be associated with differences in adaptive functioning, IQ, and ADHD features.…”
