Risk Factors and Causes for Tourette Syndrome
CDC, 2023 Brand (Posted: Apr 01, 2023 7AM)

Although the risk factors for and causes of TS are unknown, current research shows that genes play an important role: Genetic studies have indicated that TS is inherited as a dominant gene, with about a 50% chance of parents passing the gene on to their children. Boys with the gene(s) are three to four times more likely than girls to display symptoms of TS. TS can be triggered by abnormal metabolism (breakdown) of a chemical in the brain called dopamine.

Safety and Efficacy of Flexible-Dose Deutetrabenazine in Children and Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome A Randomized Clinical Trial

In this randomized clinical trial of 119 children and adolescents receiving deutetrabenazine or placebo, no significant differences in tic severity were observed at the end of the study period. Treatment-emergent adverse events were generally mild or moderate in severity.
