The neurological disorder FXTAS (pronounced "fax-tas") stems from a genetic premutation seen in one of every 151 women and one of every 468 men, called the FMR1 premutation. Just 15 years ago, Fragile ...
After following a group of patients with a specific gene mutation for many years, a team of UC Davis MIND Institute scientists has provided important insights into how fragile X-associated ...
In a study published in the journal Neurology in 2001, a UC Davis MIND Institute team led by Randi Hagerman, Endowed Chair in Fragile X Research, described a new condition, fragile X-associated tremor ...
Our knowledge of FXTAS is mainly based on individuals ascertained through families with a known proband affected with fragile X syndrome. The premutation carrier affected with FXTAS is typically the ...
The neurological disorder FXTAS (pronounced "fax-tas") stems from a genetic premutation seen in one of every 151 women and one of every 468 men, called the FMR1 premutation. Just 15 years ago, Fragile ...
A new paper in the journal NeuroImage: Clinical from researchers at the University of Kansas reveals a possible early indicator of Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, or FXTAS. The disease ...
A new feature of the genetic mutation responsible for the progressive neurodegenerative disorder, fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome -- the formation of 'R-loops,' has been discovered.
A team of researchers, led by physicians at the UC Davis M.I.N.D Institute, have discovered a new, progressive neurological disorder that predominantly affects men over age 50 and results in tremors, ...
Studies from two groups reveal three proteins involved in the pathology of fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome. In two related papers in the August 16 issue of Neuron, researchers reveal a possible ...
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder that occurs in FMR1 premutation carriers. It is well known that the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele is a risk factor ...
Researchers used a grip-force test to analyze sensorimotor function in people with the FMR1 premutation, with the aim of determining FXTAS risk and severity. The neurological disorder FXTAS ...
