This research involves the continuing investigation of the genetics of Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome (GTS). Several large multi-generational families are being studied to determine whether there is a gene or genes of major effect contributing to the manifestation of GTS. This work is being done in collaboration with the international consortium of investigators supported by the Tourette Syndrome Association. In addition, my research also is focused on gaining a better understanding of the GTS phenotype. Analyses of family study data are continuing which are designed to examine the relationship between GTS, chronic tics, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other neuropsychiatric and behavioral difficulties.
