Despite emerging evidence indicating the genetic basis of ADHD, investigations into the familial expression of latent neurocognitive traits remain limited.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719003374_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a group of adult ADHD probands (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20), their unaffected first-degree relatives (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20) and typically developing control participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20), we assessed endophenotypic alterations in the default mode network (DMN) connectivity during resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in relation to cognitive performance and clinical symptoms. In an external validation step, we also examined the dimensional nature of this neurocognitive trait in a sample of unrelated healthy young adults (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 100) from the Human Connectome Project (HCP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719003374_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results illustrated reduced anti-correlations between the posterior cingulate cortex\/precuneus and right middle frontal gyrus that was shared between adult ADHD probands and their first-degree relatives, but not with healthy controls. The observed connectivity alterations were linked to higher ADHD symptoms that was mediated by performance in a sustained attention task. Moreover, this brain-based neurocognitive trait dimensionally explained ADHD symptom variability in the HCP sample.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719003374_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Alterations in the default mode connectivity may represent a dimensional endophenotype of ADHD, hence a significant aspect of the neuropathophysiology of this disorder.
