AbstractBackground: Children with tic disorder (TD) have been reported to exhibit abnormal levels of certain peripheral proteins, but none of these abnormalities have been established as biomarkers for diagnosis. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate serum histidine decarboxylase (HDC) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in children with TD, assess their relationship with TD development, and provide reliable biomarkers for prediction and risk management in clinical settings. Methods: In the present study, serum HDC and TNF-α levels from 118 no-comorbid and medication-naive TD patients and 111 age-matched healthy controls were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Tic severity was assessed using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between serum HDC and TNF-α levels and TD development. Results: An increase in serum HDC and TNF-α levels was observed in TD patients compared with controls. Further analysis revealed a significant association between elevated HDC and TNF-α levels and TD development, with a significant ROC curve for HDC and TNF-α as potential risk factors. Conclusions: This study identified a high prevalence of elevated serum HDC and TNF-α levels in children with TDs and provides evidence that elevated blood HDC and TNF-α may be potential risk factors for TD development.
