## Abstract ## Background Fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), which occurs in some premutation carriers of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (__FMR1__) gene, is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by action tremor, gait ataxia, and impaired executive cognitive functioning.
## Abstract We report an original case of fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome in a female carrier, who had been misdiagnosed for years because of unusual features mimicking other movement or cerebrovascular disorders. She exhibited features that have not been previously described, including
## Abstract Fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurological progressive disorder associated with the __FMR1__ gene premutation. We report on variable presentation of findings associated with FXTAS in 3 brothers aged 68, 74, and 73 years, carrying premutation alleles of (CGG)~1
## Abstract The fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a recently identified phenotype associated with trinucleotide repeat expansions in the premutation range of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (__FMR1__) gene. In addition to progressive gait ataxia, action tremor, peripheral ne
