### Pathological studies
An important study by \citet{25199956} follows up on the autopsy results from the Vaccarino lab by comparing RNA transcripts from the basal ganglia of 9 TS and 9 matched control subjects. The most strongly associated set of downregulated transcripts involved striatal interneurons, consistent with the autopsy studies. The leading set of upregulated transcripts involved immune-related genes even though none of the TS subjects met the diagnostic criteria for pediatric autoimmune streptococcal-associated neuropsychiatric disorders or pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome. There was a lack of overlap between the results obtained in the present study using brain tissue and previous studies using blood samples. The authors conclude that their results
"strongly [implicate] implicate disrupted
basal ganglia interneuron signaling in the pathophysiology of severe
TS and suggests that metabolic alterations may be linked to their death or dysfunction." TS.
