## Abstract Carriers of fragile X mental retardation 1 (__FMR1__) premutation alleles (55 to 200 CGG repeats) are generally spared the more serious neurodevelopmental problems associated with the full‐mutation carriers (>200 repeats) of fragile X syndrome. However, some adult male premutation carri
## Abstract Fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a progressive adult‐onset tremor/ataxia syndrome caused by premutations in the __FMR1__ gene. In cranial MRI, the most characteristic findings are bilateral T2 hyperintense lesions within the middle cerebellar peduncles. Here we pre
## Abstract There is no established treatment for the neurological features of the recently discovered fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Fifty‐six patients with FXTAS completed a questionnaire to determine whether any medications had been effective for neurological symptoms. Of 1
