FXTAS and the Spectrum of FMR1 Premutation‐Associated Phenotypes in Latin America: A Scoping Review
Abstract Background Fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late‐onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by FMR1 premutation expansions (55–200 CGG repeats). Although well described in populations of predominantly European ancestry, FXTAS remains poorly characterized in Latin America due to limited awareness, restricted access to ...

Many mechanisms can lead to successful plant invasion, but their importance is often context dependent. One such mechanism is allelopathy: chemical inhibition of neighbouring plants. The importance of allelopathy may be mediated by soil microbiota and environmental conditions, and depend upon the species or functional group affected.
