Hitler's DNA: Predisposition to Mental Illness Identified

Scientists at Aarhus University in Denmark studied Adolf Hitler's DNA and found a genetic predisposition to mental illnesses. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the Daily Mail, the research results indicate that Hitler had a high likelihood of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

It was also emphasized that these illnesses could be inherited. For analysis, scientists used blood traces taken from the sofa in Hitler's bunker by American officer Roswell Rosengren after Hitler committed suicide in 1945.

These samples were studied at the genomic level and analyzed based on data containing approximately three billion genetic instructions. Experts found that Hitler was prone to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and belonged to the 1% of the population with a high risk of autism and schizophrenia.

According to Michael Fitzgerald, a professor at Trinity College in Ireland, such a combination of traits is considered very rare. He suggested that Hitler could be described as a "criminally inclined autistic psychopath."

Additionally, scientists noted that Hitler's relative, Veit Alois, was treated for several years in a psychiatric hospital in Vienna. He was often restrained to his bed due to hallucinations and unusual behavior.

These cases led to the conclusion that hereditary factors played a significant role in Hitler's mental disorders.
