Most cases that are experiencing Tourette syndrome (TS) consist of the interaction of environmental factors and various gene variations. While boys are three times more prone to having TS in comparison to the girls genetically. Genetic studies indicate that Tourette syndrome is inherited as a dominant gene having a nearly 50% risk of parents passing such genes to their children, which might be life-threatening. Tourette syndrome (TS) triggers the breakdown of abnormal metabolism of the chemical present in the brain known as dopamine. (7)
