Fragile-X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with the FMR1 gene premutation, characterized by the presence of 55 to 200 CGG triplet repeat expansions. Although the initial sympto…
BACKGROUND: While an association between full mutation CGG-repeat expansions of the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene and connective tissue problems are clearly described, problems in fragile X premutation carriers (fXPCs) CGG-repe…
We present four cases of fragile X premutation carriers with early neurological symptoms, including symptoms consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS) and fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Each patient had significant expos…
