This report details the first autopsy case of Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) in Japan. Neuropathological findings revealed characteristic intranuclear inclusions and white matter damage, aiding disease understanding.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Genetics
- Pathology
Background:
- Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder linked to FMR1 gene premutations.
- Understanding FXTAS neuropathology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment development.
