Gilles de la Tourette syndrome as a rare co-morbidity of Klinefelter syndrome.

Neurodevelopmental tics in the context of Klinefelter syndrome have been previously documented in three cases only. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is 3-4 times more common in males than females and its etiological factors include multiple genetic components (genetic heterogeneity). Our case report widens the spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders observed in the context of Klinefelter syndrome and contributes to genetic research on the role of the X chromosome in the pathophysiology of tic disorders.
