The exact genes involved in Tourette syndrome are not fully understood, but it is believed to be a complex disorder with multiple genetic and environmental factors. Variations in several genes, especially those related to brain development and neurotransmitter function, are thought to contribute to the development of Tourette syndrome. There is no single gene or chromosome that is consistently mutated in all individuals with Tourette syndrome.
Tourette syndrome is also called Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome
Ziprasidone is used to treat Tourette syndrome
Tourette Syndrome Association was created in 1972.
Tourette's Syndrome is a heriditary disease, not a contagious one.
The Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada is in Toronto, Ontario
They don't know yet, Recent research suggests that a small number of Tourette syndrome cases may be caused by a defect on chromosome 13 of gene SLITRK1. and some other chromosomes like 7. There now busy with a study to find the genes that may cause tourette syndrome, results will be given by 2018
Tourette's syndrome is a genetic disorder and cannot be spread through the environment.
The National Tourette Syndrome Association is in Bayside, New York
The exact cause of Tourette syndrome is currently unknown, but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Genetic epidemiology studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of cases of Tourette syndrome are inherited, although the exact mode of inheritance is not yet known and no gene has been identified. It seems unlikely that only a single gene controls Tourette syndrome, most likely it is the result of some suite of interacting genes.
Tourette syndrome is a physical factor which causes muscle tissues to twitch. Tourette was a subject of recent film about a child with syndrome. The film was named "I Have Tourette's but Tourette's Doesn't Have Me". It was release in 2005.
