The Genetics of Tourette Syndrome
A short history of genes and how they specifically relate to TS
What is the chance of my child having Tourette Syndrome?
Using the methods on this page, you can get a fair idea of how likely you are to have a child with TS based on their gender.
But how did you get those figures?
A closer look at why I have given the figures I did
I've looked at the inheritance figures, and I have a high chance of having a Tourette syndrome child...what are my options?
Discusses some of the options potential parents have when they are likely to have a TS child.
Why are the Inheritance figures on this site different from other sites I've seen?
Discusses why the famous Dr. Comings and I don't agree on the percentage chance of TS children
Multigenic Inheritance and what it means
Discusses why determining if a child will have TS is not as easy as it could be.
Why women suffer as parents
The chance of having a tourette child is greater when the female parent is a touretter, this page explains why.
Genetic Crossover and TS
Explains what genetic crossover is, and why it is important in genetic mapping
A very basic test to see if your child will have TS
This is not a substitute for a genetic councillor!
