Article Synopsis
- Alteration in iron levels has been linked to movement disorders like Parkinson's, prompting researchers to investigate iron stores in children with tic disorders.
- The study compared serum ferritin levels, a marker for iron stores, between drug-naive children diagnosed with tic disorders (47 children) and a control group with headaches (100 children).
- Results showed that children with tic disorders had significantly lower serum ferritin levels, indicating reduced iron stores, while other blood iron indicators showed no notable differences between the groups.
