Genetics Study

This multi-site study will find the genes that are important in the development of Tourette syndrome.

Locating genes will give us an understanding of the biology of TS and make individualized treatments possible.

This research is funded by the NIH through the Tourette Syndrome Association and involves six participating university centers.

Participating in the TS Genetics study will involve:

A visit to The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore or

A home visit by a team member.

Self-report questionnaires reviewed by a physician

A blood draw

A 15-minute computer activity

You will be compensated $25 for your participation and all visit expenses will be covered.

· Children and adults diagnosed with Tourette Syndome

· Participants must be 7 years or older

This is our chance to help future generations overcome Tourette Syndrome.
