EMTICS aims to identify the genetic and environmental susceptibility factors of tic disorders and will greatly contribute to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, especially by elucidating the role of autoimmunity and infections. EMTICS is a project funded by the EU programme FP7 and combines 27 partners from 11 different countries.
Tics are characterised by the presence of multiple sudden, rapid, recurrent, and non-rhythmic movements and/or utterances.
EMTICS wants to elucidate the causes of tics in children and to find an effective treatment for the disorder.
The EMTICS project has concluded in 2018, thanks to a wonderfully collaborative team of researchers. Thanks a lot to everybody! Read the project's final summary report to learn more about the key results and the impact EMTICS made!
