    Abstract

    A genetic linkage study of fifteen families (n = 166) ascertained through probands diagnosed for Tourette syndrome was carried out for the D2dopamine receptor and flanking loci on chromosome 11q22-q23. Tight linkage was excluded for all probes and regions of exclusion up to ±20% recombination were obtained. Overlapping regions of exclusion based upon primary map data permit exclusion of the entire region of the DRD2 locus in Tourette syndrome.
