Exactly? Well, it is a dominate gene and an autosomal condition, so if you do get only one copy from one parent, you still have a 50% chance of getting it. Each affected person usually has one affected parent. There is a 50% chance that a child will inherit the mutated gene. Conditions that are autosomal dominant often have low penetrance, which means that although only one mutated copy is needed, and a relatively (25% or half of those who get the gene in Tourettes case) small proportion of those who inherit that mutation go on to develop the disease.
It is hereditary but can become apparent in kids with no family history of any neurological condition, however because it is caused by neurological structure rather than psychological issues it is difficult to get outside of hereditary conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Do the symptoms of Tourettes Syndrome originate from fear or from anger at society?
No, they originate from an inherited neurological disorder. You don't get to blame society for your messed-up genes.

Is turner syndrome inheritable or random?
Turner syndrome is usually random and not inherited. It occurs when a female is born with a missing or incomplete X chromosome. In rare cases, Turner syndrome can be inherited if one parent carries a chromosomal abnormality.
Dose marfan syndrome have to be on a x chormose?
Marfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene, which is located on chromosome 15 and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. It is not linked to the X chromosome. Both males and females can inherit and display symptoms of Marfan syndrome.
How is Turner's Syndrome Inherited?
Turner's Syndrome is typically not inherited, as it is caused by a random error in the formation of the egg or sperm. It is often due to a missing or incomplete X chromosome in females. This error occurs sporadically and is not passed down from parents to their children.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two X chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying on Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
How many people have Tourette syndrome in the us?
Over 100,000 (one hundred thousand) people have Tourettes Syndrome in the United States of America Over 100,000 (one hundred thousand) people have Tourettes Syndrome in the United States of America
Is marfan syndrome carried on the x or y chromosome or both?
Marfan syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in a single copy of the gene is enough to cause the disorder. It is not specifically located on the X or Y chromosome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two x chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying one y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two chromosomes X is fertilized by a sperm carrying one Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
Is down's syndrome inherited?
Most cases of down syndrome are not inherited. Translocation Down syndrome can be inherited.
Why does wiskott aldrich syndrome only affect males?
I believe because it is linked to genetic x-chromosome sex-inherited trait, females have another x-chromosome whereas males do not
