What does Tourette syndrome do to the body?

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that normally occurs in childhood. People with Tourette Syndrome tic, and tics are repetitive movements that they can't control. People with Tourette Syndrome can grow out of it, and they can be just as successful as someone without Tourette Syndrome. Roughly 2% of Americans have Tourette Syndrome, yet a lot of people still know nothing about the disorder. You can get Tourette Syndrome genetically, and there is a 50% chance you will pass it on to your child. There is also the possibility that there is an imbalanced level of Dopamine in the patents' body, which results in tics. Hope that helps!


Is Tourette syndrome a single gene disorder?

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.

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.
