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 ...

New UC Davis research shows that men with an FMR1 premutation who experienced reduced executive function were at higher likelihood of developing fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS).

LAWRENCE -- 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 ...

Expression of a toxic RNA that leads to Fragile X Tremor Ataxia Syndrome is modifiable by genetic or pharmacologic means, according to new research. Expression of a toxic RNA that leads to Fragile X ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PureTech Health plc (Nasdaq: PRTC, LSE: PRTC) ("PureTech" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company dedicated to changing the lives of patients with ...

ATLANTA, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have discovered a key protein in the brain pathway that leads to fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome -- an inherited neurodegenerative disorder. Fragile X tremor ...

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 ...

Older FMR1 premutation carriers may develop fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), a neurodegenerative disorder manifesting cognitive deficits that often subsequently progress to ...

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 ...
