Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Studies from Copenhagen University Hospital Yield New Data on Tic Disorders (Concordance and Comorbidities Among Monozygotic Twins With Tic Disorders)
2023 FEB 28 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Genomics & Genetics Daily -- Investigators discuss new findings in Central Nervous System
Article Description
Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (GTS) is a multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by tics and multiple comorbidities. The pathophysiology is not yet fully understood, but both environmental and genetic risk factors seem to be involved. Twin studies provide important knowledge on genetic factors. We assessed the concordance of GTS and chronic tic disorders (CTD) in monozygotic (MZ) twins, and examined tic severity, symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Twin pairs, where at least one twin was diagnosed with any tic disorder, were identified through Danish Twin Registry, Psychiatric Central Registry, Danish National Patient Registry and National Tourette Clinic, Copenhagen University Hospital, Herlev. Zygosity was tested with single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and clinical assessment was done with validated tools. 14 MZ twin pairs were included: five were discordant. Seven twin pairs were concordant for GTS, and for two pairs one twin had GTS and the other CTD. Among the twins with CTD or GTS, 50% had at least one comorbidity, which is higher than in background populations. The GTS + OCD-phenotype was significantly more frequent among GTS-concordant than among discordant twins. No statistically significant differences were found between the GTS-concordant and discordant twin pairs regarding tic severity or comorbidities. Thorough clinical assessment and SNP-based genotyping are important when conducting clinical twin studies. We found high concordance of GTS and CTD, which supports the notion that both disorders have common genetic risk factors. Further studies with larger cohorts including dizygotic twins are warranted for more conclusive results.
