What are the chances of a person with touretts passing touretts on to their offspring?
Fragile-x is carried on the x-gene only. Men have XY chromosones and women XX. Men pass on the x-gene to all their daughters and the y-gene to all their sons. Women pass on either of their x-genes to sons and daughters. The spouse has no effect on the transmission of the faulty gene at all. Their x and/or y genes simply get combined. So, a male Fragile-x carrier has 100% chance of passing it his daughters and 0% chance to his sons. A female carrier has 50% chance of passing it to her daughters and 50% chance to her sons.

Is touretts syndrome a disability?
No. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder, typically caused by an abnormally structured basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex. It may also be related to levels of noradrenalin, seratonin and dopamine in the brain. It is not a mental disorder. Evidence suggests that individuals with Tourette's without comorbid conditions have a higher-than-predicted* IQ (based on a statistical model taking into account their age, family history and background), and may be more skilled at grammer and native-language skills. No studies on mathematical skills have been performed.
Can you join the US Army if you have tourettes?
You can, but you might want to reconsider enlisting. Those with ADHD are not typically well suited for military service and typically encounter difficulties. This is not the case for all. Some with ADHD do well in a very structured environment. If you are one of these, then by all means enlist. If your doctor is unaware of the ADHD then the chances are its not on record to which my advice is to keep quiet. Dont lie though if your doctor is aware as the military will check your medical records.
