FXTAS Clinics

Clinics Specializing in the Treatment of Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome

FXTAS clinics comprise doctors (primarily neurologists and movement disorder specialists), therapists, researchers, and other specialists who treat FXTAS by utilizing the best available scientific knowledge about the known causes of FXTAS. While there is currently no cure for FXTAS, specialists may be able to lessen the severity and slow the progression of symptoms.

Contacting a Clinic: Please feel free to contact the clinic directly or contact us here at the National Fragile X Foundation for guidance on choosing the most appropriate clinic for your needs.

Research-Only Clinics

Clinics designated as research-only exist exclusively to study potential interventions for FXTAS and patients are only accepted if they meet specific research criteria. While research patients may receive treatment as part of their participation in a research project, patients must confirm the details of participating with the researchers.

International Treatment and Research Clinics

Please be aware that clinics outside the U.S. operate under different rules, regulations, and cultural norms, and services may be provided differently than in the U.S. However, the IFC’s Task Force has ensured that each of the member clinics meets the IFC’s minimum standard of having available medical and medication evaluation, prescribing, monitoring, and genetic counseling.
