In some cases, tics may not be inherited; these cases are identified as sporadic Tourette syndrome (also known as tourettism) because a genetic link is missing. A person with Tourette syndrome has about a 50% chance of passing the gene(s) to one of his/her children. Gender appears to have a role in the expression of the genetic vulnerability, with males more likely to express tics than females.
Batten Disease, also referred to as Spielmeyer-Vogt-SjÃ£ÆÂ¶gren-Batten Disease, is a childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disorder. The condition is genetic, caused by mutations in up to eight different human genes. In most cases, the disease is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene. The condition is named after the doctor who described the disease in 1903, Dr. Frederick Batten. Batten Disease usually develops in childhood, with symptoms appearing most commonly between the ages of four and ten years.
