Tourette syndrome (TS) is a common neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics, and obsessive-compulsive behavior with onset before adulthood. Many possible gene/candidate loci for TS have been reported through linkage analysis,genome-wide association studies, and various case reports. Three case reports have been published so far on patients with 18q22 disorders, with interest in this region as a locus for not only tics, but ADD and OCD. The earliest report of an 18q22 deletion was noted in 1987 with scant clinical information provided
