Exactly? Well, it is a dominate gene and an autosomal condition, so if you do get only one copy from one parent, you still have a 50% chance of getting it. Each affected person usually has one affected parent. There is a 50% chance that a child will inherit the mutated gene. Conditions that are autosomal dominant often have low penetrance, which means that although only one mutated copy is needed, and a relatively (25% or half of those who get the gene in Tourettes case) small proportion of those who inherit that mutation go on to develop the disease.
It is hereditary but can become apparent in kids with no family history of any neurological condition, however because it is caused by neurological structure rather than psychological issues it is difficult to get outside of hereditary conditions.
