Tourette syndrome (TS) is a complex inherited neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and phonic tics. Involvement of central norepinephrine mechanisms is suggested by central norepinephrinic hyperactivity in patients with TS and by the therapeutic effects of the presynaptic ␣ 2 -a

Germline mutations within the CDKN2A gene, coding for the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16, have been detected by screening in 8% of Swedish families with an inheritance of cutaneous melanoma (FMM) and dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS). Contrastingly, the closely related gene CDKN2B had no diseas
## Abstract SLC1A1 encodes a neuronal glutamate transporter and is a promising candidate gene for obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD). Several independent research groups have reported significant associations between OCD and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene. Previously, we evalu
Mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) cause Rett syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder occurring predominantly in females. Male patients with Rett syndrome are extremely rare, as the Rett-causing mutations in the MECP2 gene are usually lethal in hemizygous males. However, di
