Tourettes-Genetics

= ﻿ ﻿  Tourettes-Genetics ﻿  = At this time, investigators are conducting some large-scale genetic studies on Tourette's Syndrome. Large advances in the technology of gene finding will allow for genome wide-screening approaches in Tourette's Syndrome, and finding a gene or genes for Tourette's Syndrome would be a very big step toward understanding genetic risks. Also, understanding the genetics of Tourette's Syndrome genes will strengthen clinical diagnosis, improve genetic counseling, lead to the clarification of pathophysiology, and provide clues for more effective therapies.

Currently, there is no actual explaination of why people inherit Tourette's Syndrome. []
