^aYGTSS:Yale Global Tic Severity Scale.

^bWAIS-III/IV: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III/IV—Standard scores with a general population mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 are reported here. The WAIS III was administered preimplantation. The WAIS IV was administered postimplantation.

^cBASC: Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition Ages 12–21; raw test scores reported here. A score reduction on items within clinical scales reflects relative improvement in the different measures of psychiatric symptomatology, whereas a score increase on items within adaptive scales reflects a relative improvement on different measures of adaptive functioning. Within the composite scales, a score reduction in the domains of externalizing symptoms, internalizing symptoms, and behavioral symptoms reflects relative improvement, whereas a score increase in the adaptive skills domain reflects relative improvement.

^dPsychotropic medications reported as maximum daily dosages prescribed to patient.
