Abstract excerpt
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder that appears in at least one-third of adult carriers of FMR1 premutation. Several studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in neurodegenerative disorders. In order to assess whether mitochondrial DNA variants are involved in the risk of developing FXTAS we evaluated the frequency of...
