@Nattuma1 2) ... all the boys have got it. Some years ago a huge genetic test was made in Denmark collecting blood samples from 1000's of tourrettes people, in order to do some genuin research on the genetic basis... but as all people who work with genetics know, you wont alway be able to find 1 gene for a condition, since some conditions need more than just one gene in order to accure, and so tourrettes and ADHD and Autisme, can be results of the right combination of genes, not just one.

@ssfreakkk 1) That it is genetic, and permanent is one of the musts! for calling it tourrettes... if you have tourrettes like syntomes do to stress or local nerve disfunktion it is something different, I dont know the excact online place that states that it is genetic, but I have had contact to the danish hospital in glostrup who and their specialized tourrettes clinic since I was a small child, and tourrettes has been in my family for at least 3 generations, while not all girls got it ...

@Nattuma1 can u kindly post a link saying that it is genetic? and if there are any double blind studies being done to confirm this claim?

Always remember Tourettes NEVER disapear or gets outgrown! it is genetic! only a strong genetic mutation or manipulation could change it, and there might not be a single geen which is causing tourettes because it can be a result of the combination of two genes which are fighting each other over comand (could be why it varies all the time) Social inheritance can have a huge impact on how the brain subcounsiously deal with tourettes and how the geenes express the tourettes...
