Do deaf people get turrets?
While Tourette syndrome can affect individuals who are deaf, the vocal tics typically associated with Tourette's may present differently in someone who is deaf. Instead of verbalizations, they might have physical tics or other ways of expressing the urge caused by Tourette's. It's important to understand and accommodate for these unique manifestations in deaf individuals with Tourette syndrome.
Is Tourette's syndrome a karyotype or pedigree?
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.
Can coprolalia be caused from a head injury?
Coprolalia is a symptom of Tourette syndrome characterized by involuntary swearing or the utterance of obscene words. It is not typically associated with head injuries but rather with neurological conditions such as Tourette syndrome or other tic disorders.

No. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder, typically caused by an abnormally structured basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex. It may also be related to levels of noradrenalin, seratonin and dopamine in the brain. It is not a mental disorder. Evidence suggests that individuals with Tourette's without comorbid conditions have a higher-than-predicted* IQ (based on a statistical model taking into account their age, family history and background), and may be more skilled at grammer and native-language skills. No studies on mathematical skills have been performed.
What can cause recurrent miscarriage?

What type of mutation is tourettes syndrome?
Tourette syndrome is believed to be a complex disorder with a combination of genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development. It is not caused by a single mutation, but rather likely involves several genetic variations that increase susceptibility to the disorder.
