Here we examined the microstructural integrity of 76 white matter tracts among unaffected siblings of patients with ADHD to evaluate the potential familial risk and its association with clinical and neuropsychological manifestations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719001120_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The comparison groups included medication-na\u00efve ADHD probands (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 50), their unaffected siblings (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 50) and typically developing controls (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 50, age-and-sex matched with ADHD probands). Whole brain tractography was reconstructed automatically by tract-based analysis of diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI). Microstructural properties of white matter tracts were represented by the values of generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA), fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD) and axial diffusivity (AD).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719001120_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to the control group, ADHD probands showed higher AD values in the perpendicular fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus I, corticospinal tract, and corpus callosum. The AD values of unaffected siblings were in the intermediate position between those of the ADHD and control groups. These AD values were significantly associated with ADHD symptoms, sustained attention and working memory, for all white matter tracks evaluated except for the perpendicular fasciculus. Higher FA and lower RD values in the right frontostriatal tract connecting ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (FS-VLPFC) were associated with better performance in spatial span only in the unaffected sibling group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719001120_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Abnormal AD values of specific white matter tracts among unaffected siblings of ADHD probands suggest the presence of familial risk in this population.
