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.<br />Competing Interests: None of the authors report any conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.
