To my wholly unqualified experience and research, illnesses and conditions of a certain type are more prone in families with others with risk factors. However, there isn't enough evidence or sutidies done to tell for sure and a great many factors could contribute that aren't assessed (such as environment, in-feto nutrients, ansestory dna, modern chemical effects, diets, weather, etc.)
For example - my grandma, granddad and uncle all have/had cancer. My Uncle got brain cancer. Mother suffers from "chronic depression" and my brother has eperlepscy, "server learning difficulties" and terrible narcissism (not the generally acceptable kind). My other uncle has diabetes, possible cancer and is nearly fully blind. My mum has early onsent arthritis and many other issues also (most due to weight and diet in truth). I can't say if they're all linked or correlated, nor can anyone.
Sorry for the long answer - in short, it's extremely difficult to accurately tell if such ailments run in families.
hope this helps :-)

I'll be honest, now you've got my brain thinking over the idea with the basic knowledge I have of genetics and nureo-science. It does seem logical s a slightly depressive way. But there are so very many variable that could contribute to tumor development, possibly including adhd, but also including sugary foods, preservatives in the diet, etc. ANy number of things.
it's fasinating to think about.
I'll confess I often worry about my boys developing a brain like mine, especally as during my pregnancies witht hem I was so very sick they might not have had all the nutrients they needed. but there is little I can do about it alas :-)
Thanks for the brain food ;-)
