摘要
脆性X相关震颤和(或)共济失调综合征(fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome,FXTAS)是由FMR1基因的前突变(premutation,PM)所导致的一种神经退行性疾病,其临床表现主要为意向性震颤和(或)共济失调,其发病机制与RNA毒性获得机制有关。本文就FXTAS的临床表现、病理特征、流行病学及分子机制等的研究进展做一综述。
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by FMR1 gene permutation (PM). The main clinical manifestations are intention tremor and/or ataxia, and the pathogenesis was related to RNA toxicity. In this paper, the research progress of clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, epidemiology and molecular mechanisms will be reviewed.
