RESEARCH QUESTION

Do family-based and case-control analyses support an association between common ASH1L variants and Tourette syndrome?

The paper reports family transmission alongside a nonsignificant case-control result for common-variant risk, which must remain separate from rare pathogenic ASH1L loss-of-function disorder.

INTERPRETATION BOUNDARY

Read the finding and limit together.

What this study supports

Examines common-variant association with Tourette syndrome using family-based and case-control analyses.

What it cannot establish

The family transmission result and nonsignificant case-control result concern common-variant risk and must not be conflated with rare pathogenic ASH1L loss-of-function disorder.
