Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder which can be caused by genetics or certain environmental factors. There is a certain gene which is said to be involved with the onset of TS, but not everyone diagnosed with the disorder has a genetic mutation. When a genetic mutation is present, it affects the chemical balance in neurons, causing the onset of motor and vocal tics.
Hope that answered your question.
A karyotype shows the number of chromosomes in a species A pedigree shows traits passed through generations.
No, a karyotype shows if a person has Turner syndrome.
Tourettes Syndrom is a condition in the Nervous System

No, a pedigree is a schematic used to track a genetic trait. Karyotypes are images of the chromosomes themselves and are used to diagnose genetic disorders caused by different number of chromossomes, such as Down's syndrome, Turner, Kleinefelter etc..

Yes, the syndrome isn't confined to either gender only.
Karyotype analysis can be used to easily determine sex and a number of genetic disorders, such as Down's Syndrome (trisomy-21) or Klinefelter's Syndrome (XXY).
A karyotype tells you if you have the normal ammont of chromosomes (46 for humans), it can also tell you if you have more or less and if this is the case what it is that you have. The most common syndrome would be Down Syndrome, or trisomy 21. Down Syndrome is also called trisomy 21 because if you look at a karyotype from someone that has this syndrome then they have three coppies of the 21st chromosome.
That depends if you are showing any of the symptoms.
