Research shows these conditions are probably genetically linked and as a result, we tend to see both conditions run in families.<\/p>\n<p>Before we discusses the risks of being born with these conditions, let&#8217;s look at some general stats on TS and OCD:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25%-50% of people with Tourette or Chronic Tic Disorder meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis of OCD<\/li>\n<li>80% of people with Tourette or Chronic tic disorder may have obsessive compulsive behaviors<\/li>\n<li>30% of people with OCD have a family history of co-occurring Tourette or Chronic Tic Disorder<\/li>\n<li>A lot of recent research including twin studies, neuroimaging studies, and a genome-wide complex trait analysis, suggest that there is a significant genetic association between TS and OCD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A large study published in 2015 took a look at these two conditions. Here are some of the key results:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>If your oldest sibling has TS or chronic tic disorder plus OCD, you have a significantly higher likelihood of having these conditions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>The risk of having TS or Chronic Tic Disorder (CT) plus OCD was higher for people who had an oldest sibling who was affected by these conditions<\/li>\n<li>People with an oldest sibling with TS\/CT were 18 times more likely to have a diagnosis of either Tourette or Chronic Tic Disorder<\/li>\n<li>Individuals with an oldest sibling with OCD, were 5 times more likely to have an OCD diagnosis than a person who does not have an oldest sibling with OCD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>If you have a brother or sister with TS or Chronic tic disorder, you\u2019re more likely to have these conditions than other people.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>If one of your siblings has TS or CT, you have a 9.88% risk of also having CT\/TS<\/li>\n<li>If none of your siblings has TS or CT, you have 0.42% risk of having CT\/TS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>If you have a brother or sister with OCD, you\u2019re more likely to have these conditions than other people.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>If one of your siblings has OCD, you have a 4.01% of having it as well<\/li>\n<li>If none of your siblings have OCD, there is a 0.84% you will have it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>For full siblings with Tourette (same mom and same dad), the chance that their brother or sister will have TS is greater than for half-siblings (either same mom or same dad).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>This suggests that there is a genetic contribution or basis for TS\/CT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is does this all mean?<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, this is what we know right now\u2014if you have a family member with TS and OCD, you\u2019re more likely to have TS and OCD, too.
