In current study, we discovered several multivariate patterns of white matter properties linked to clinical symptoms, cognition and behavior across children with and without ADHD. Each dimension of phenotype was linked to a specific pattern of white matter microstructure alterations. Furthermore, these associations captured deviations between children with and without ADHD and displayed developmental effects. Together, these results suggest that complex ADHD phenotypes are associated with specific patterns of abnormal white matter microstructure during brain development.
