    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Tourette Syndrome (TS) is often underestimated in prevalence.
    • It is notably common within the Afrikaans population.
    • Considered a potentially frequent inherited disorder.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the prevalence of Tourette Syndrome.
    • To describe the multifaceted nature of Tourette Syndrome.
    • To discuss the genetic inheritance patterns of Tourette Syndrome.

    Summary:

    • Tourette Syndrome is a neurological variation characterized by involuntary tics.
    • It frequently presents with co-occurring conditions such as frontal lobe and limbic system involvement, learning difficulties, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and sexual deviations.
    • Geneticists debate its inheritance, with most viewing it as dominant, while some propose semi-dominant/semi-recessive models.
