What are they researching now?
Recently there has been more research aimed at understanding how the disorder is transmitted from one generation to the next and researchers are working toward locating the gene marker for TS. That focus has been enhanced by the efforts of an international group of scientists who have formed a unique network to share what they know about the genetics of TS. Additional insights will be obtained from studies of large families (kindreds) with numerous members who have TS. At the same time, investigators continue to study specific groups of brain chemicals to better understand the syndrome and to develop new and improved medications. Work is also ongoing to identify sub-groups of people with TS.
