About three in every 1,000 children in the United States suffer from Tourette’s syndrome, for a total of about 150,000 cases in the country, according to a survey published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Previous estimates of its incidence had varied from 1 in 1,000 to 30 in 1,000.
