Concordance is reported of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome in a male twin pair in whom phenotyping revealed a >98·7% probability that they were monozygotic. The development and extent of the illness differed markedly in the two subjects. Our findings are compatible with the view that there is a genetic form of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
据报道，一对男性双胞胎均患有抽动秽语综合征，其表型显示他们为同卵双胞胎的概率超过98.7%。然而，这两名患者的病情发展和严重程度存在显著差异。我们的研究结果支持抽动秽语综合征存在遗传形式这一观点。
