The Scharf Lab is looking for volunteers with Tourette syndrome (TS) or a chronic/persistent tic disorder (CT/PTD) for a 3-year longitudinal research study. The study’s goals are to find genes involved in TS and related conditions and to investigate social and clinical factors that may affect how people’s symptoms change over time. We hope that this study will help us identify new targets for treatment and improve our ability to predict how people will respond to different treatments.

If you are interested in participating, please email our Clinical Research Coordinator, Ariadne Kaylor, at akaylor@mgh.harvard.edu or findtsgenes@partners.org.
