In most cases, yes. ADHD can be caused by early birth, exposure to toxins during the birth cycle, or through heredity. ADHD does carry a high heritable rate, with an approximate estimate of 75% diagnosed know a family member or parent who has the disorder.
There is a consistent finding in the scientific literature that, in fact, there is a genetic component to ADHD. That is not to say that the condition is a "genetic disorder." ADHD is a clinical category that describes a cluster of similar neurodevelopmental challenges, and the risks include genetic as well as other factors.
One of these genetic risks may be related to post-synaptic dopamine sensitivity. In other words, some people with ADHD may literally be less sensitive to reward than others their age. This is probably something you've observed clinically if you're a parent or a teacher.
There is question about where ADHD arises from, although studies suggest it is genetically inherited.

In some cases they do. There can be genetic reasons that contribute to ADHD. However, shared lifestyles can also be at the root of attention problems, including ADHD.
