Tourette Syndrome

Tourette's syndrome was not named after Tourette's syndrome named after George Gilles de la Tourette who first discovered this syndrome in 1885. Today there is still a mystery about this disease, its cause and treatment. But one of the biggest mysteries is the related behavior called coprolalia. This symptom is an unlimited curse and a socially unacceptable discourse that are experienced in Tourette. Despite the obsession of media, Tourette's syndrome is not a disease of curse that many people think.

First of all, what is Tourette's syndrome? In other words, Tourette's syndrome is a disease of the nervous system. It can not be denied that TS limits knowledge on pathophysiology. But what we know is that the connections between neurons somewhere in the brain are incorrect. Therefore, there is a tendency to use a face and vocal cords to make a lot of strange things (called a single contraction). No one really knows why some people will develop Tourette's syndrome, but there is some evidence that heredity may work well in some circumstances. However, there is no confirmation

In 1999, International Tourette Society Genetics Association of Tourette Syndrome announced that scientists have identified two chromosomal markers that point to specific regions of the gene that may be found in Tourette's syndrome. Scientists from the United States of the Tourette Syndrome Association will map the genetic maps of these areas located on chromosomes 4 and 8.

The exact cause of Tourette's syndrome is currently unknown. A clinical researcher at Yale University School of Medicine found a gene on chromosome 13. And it seems to be related to certain Tourette syndrome. This gene is thought to be involved in the growth of neurons (neurons) in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. Many researchers believe that the disease may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance and diversity. Human characteristics including classical genetic diseases are the products of the interaction of two genes, one from father and one from mother.

Convulsion syndrome is a disease transmitted through genetics and genes. Tourette's syndrome is one of the more common genetic diseases. It teases television and movies, but Tourette's syndrome is a very serious disease. Tourette's syndrome or TS is a hereditary nervous system disorder characterized by repeated unconscious body movements (convulsions) and uncontrollable sounds. The cause of TS has not yet been fully elucidated, but scientists know that it is dominant inheritance. Scientists also know that it results from abnormal metabolism of at least one brain chemical called neurotransmitter called dopamine. TS causes different symptoms by family. Each time a TS patient has 50% of the gene, that gene is conveyed to each child. Child gender helps to determine gene expression. My son is more likely to have 3-4 times the gene than his daughter.
