Genogram of two TS nuclear families segregating SLITRK1 var321. For each family, shaded boxes indicate a diagnosis of TS. SLITRK1 var321 genotypes are indicated beneath each individual. + indicates the wild-type G allele; var321 indicates the variant A allele as described previously. Additional comorbid diagnoses are listed to the left of each family member. TS, Tourette Syndrome; OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; OCsub, subclinical OCD; TTM, trichotillomania; ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
