Clin Case Rep. 2022 Nov 27;10(11):e6586. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6586. eCollection 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Premutation alleles with 55-200 CGG repeats in FMR1 can lead to fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). In this case study, we report uncontrolled gout in a 68-year-old male with FXTAS with multiple sites of involvement including a rare gouty tophus in the nasal region.

Keywords: FMR1; FXTAS; gout; premutation; tophi.
