Core Tip	This study highlights the significant roles of both genetic and environmental factors in the development of psychiatric comorbidities among children with neurodevelopmental delays. Key findings include the identification of specific genetic variants associated with disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and anxiety, as well as the influence of environmental stressors, including prenatal maternal stress and early childhood adversity. The complex interactions between genes and the environment underscore the need for integrated assessment approaches and targeted interventions to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
