Is tourettte syndrom inherited?

Yes and No. Some people with Tourette's Syndrome inherited it but about 10-15% represent new gene mutations. It is thought now to be a genetic disorder (carried on our genes) but persons, whose parents do not carry any of the genes that might be the cause, could be the FIRST in their family line to start it by having an abnormality in a gene develop during cell divisions after the ovum and sperm have joined. Not everyone who inherits a gene carrying the trait for Tourette's Syndrome will have it. Some will have very few or even no symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome but (primarily females) may develop Obsessive Compulsive symptoms. A search engine will give you a list of many very helpful entries about Tourette's Syndrome (TS). Some of those will be erroneous.
