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.
Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain amino acids properly. The condition gets its name from the distinctive sweet odor of affected infants' urine. Beginning in early infancy, this condition is characterized by poor feeding, vomiting, lethargy, and developmental delay. If untreated, maple syrup urine disease can lead to seizures, coma, and death. Maple syrup urine disease is caused by mutations in the BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT, and DLD genes; it has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
