Fragile-X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome or Alcohol-Induced Cerebellar Degeneration? A Case Report


ABSTRACT: Fragile-X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that manifests with intention tremor, progressive gait ataxia, and cognitive impairment. The disease is genetically characterized by a premutation of the FMR1gene on the X-chromosome manifesting with a CGG triplet expansion between 55 and 200. Given the phenotypical variety of this disease, diagnosis is frequently delayed. We present and discuss a male patient whose diagnosis of FXTAS was delayed due to his concomitant alcohol abuse.
