Dr. Jessica Klusek co-authored a new review in Frontiers in Neurology, bringing together clinicians and researchers to provide guidance on caring for people with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). 

FXTAS is a condition that can affect some older adults with the fragile X premutation, causing difficulties with movement, balance, memory, and other aspects of health. The review outlines approaches to managing these challenges, including medications, rehabilitative therapies, and support for mental health and communication. 

Developed in response to a request from the National Fragile X Foundation, the review emphasizes care tailored to each person’s needs and brings together expertise from several healthcare disciplines to support everyday functioning and quality of life.
