All About FXTAS

Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is a rare neurological disease that can display Ataxia as a symptom. The National Ataxia Foundation is proud to host this webinar presented by Dr. Peter Todd on September 16th, 2024. In "All About FXTAS", he gave an overview of the causes and symptoms of FXTAS, the typical diagnostic journey for those affected, and what to expect for clinical care.

Todd, MD, PhD, is the Bucky and Patti Harris Professor and an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology. As a clinician, Dr. Todd sees patients at both the University of Michigan and at the VA Medical Center in Ann Arbor. He co-directs the UM Ataxia clinic where he sees patients with inherited and sporadic Ataxias. He also co-directs the UM Fragile X Clinic and sees adult patients with Fragile X Syndrome and Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) in that setting. He serves as inaugural director of the Clinical Neurogenetics Research Program, which aims to improve research and care for patients with inherited neurological disorders. As a physician scientist, Dr Todd’s lab studies the mechanisms by which nucleotide repeat expansions cause neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders with a long term goal of developing novel therapeutics for currently untreatable conditions. His lab has published extensively on Fragile X-associated disorders, such as Fragile X Syndrome and Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) as well as C9orf72 repeat expansions that cause ALS and frontotemporal dementia. Recent research is also exploring the roles of repeat expansions in more common neurological diseases. His lab has been continuously funded by the NIH and VA since its inception and he serves as co-director of one of three National Fragile X Research Centers established by the NIH in 2020. About the Series: NAF is producing a series of monthly educational webinars that focus on one type of Ataxia at a time. Each month we will feature a different type. Clinical experts will join us to take a look at the causes and symptoms of the disease, the typical diagnostic journey for those affected, and what to expect for clinical care. Research experts will teach us how the disease is studied and give an overview of the current state of research and drug development.
