Is tourette syndrome dominate or recessive?

The exact genetic basis of Tourette syndrome is not yet fully understood, and it is considered a complex genetic condition. While genetic factors are believed to play a significant role, the inheritance pattern of Tourette syndrome is not straightforward, and it does not follow a simple dominant or recessive pattern.

Research has identified multiple genetic variations associated with Tourette syndrome, and it is likely that a combination of genetic and environmental factors contributes to the development of the condition. Several studies have suggested a possible genetic link to Tourette syndrome, including the involvement of multiple genes, each with small effects.

In some families, Tourette syndrome may appear to have a genetic component, with multiple affected individuals within the same family. However, the inheritance pattern is not consistent across all families, and the expression of the condition can vary significantly even among affected individuals within the same family.

Therefore, Tourette syndrome is considered a complex genetic condition, and its inheritance pattern cannot be simply classified as dominant or recessive. Rather, it involves the interplay of multiple genetic variations, along with environmental factors, in determining the risk and manifestation of the condition.
