What are the specific genes that predispose individuals to develop Tourette Syndrome and related developmental neuropsychiatric disorders, and how do they work together to cause disease?

How can we use susceptibility genes for TS and related disorders to identify the specific cell types, neural circuits and critical neurodevelopmental periods involved in disease pathogenesis?

How does tic severity change over time? What are the genetic, clinical and social factors that influence whether an individual's tics persist from childhood into adulthood?
