Comparative Behavioral Phenotypes of Fmr1 KO, Fxr2 Het, and Fmr1 KO/Fxr2 Het Mice [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by silencing of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of the protein product fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FXS is the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability. There are two known mammalian paralogs

Generation and characterization of FMR1 knockout zebrafish. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common known causes of inherited mental retardation. The gene mutated in FXS is named FMR1, and is well conserved from human to Drosophila.

Altered Auditory Maturation in Fragile X Syndrome and Its Involvement in Audiogenic Seizure Susceptibility. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Auditory hypersensitivity is a prominent symptom in Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most prevalent monogenic cause of autism and intellectual disability. FXS arises through the loss of the protein encoded by the FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) gene, FMRP, required for normal neural circuit excitability.

Genetic Reduction of the Translational Repressors FMRP and 4E-BP2 Preserves Memory in Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
Genetic reduction of the translational repressors FMRP or 4E‐BP2 prevents amyloid‐β oligomer–induced suppression of hippocampal protein synthesis and memory loss in mice. Targeting translational control preserves cognitive function in Alzheimer's models, revealing mRNA translation as a promising therapeutic axis for memory preservation.

ERβ/circAHNAK Axis Inhibits USP10-FMR1 Deubiquitination to Prevent m⁶A-Mediated ADAM17 Decay and Promote Angiogenesis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
In clear cell renal cell carcinoma, estrogen receptor β (ERβ) upregulates circAHNAK, which competitively binds USP10 to prevent FMR1 deubiquitination, leading to FMR1 degradation. Loss of FMR1 hinders m⁶A‐dependent decay of ADAM17 mRNA, resulting in ADAM17 accumulation in tumor exosomes and enhanced angiogenesis.

Metabolic Alterations in FMR1 Premutation Carriers [PDF]
FMR1 gene premutation carriers are at risk of developing Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) and Fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) in adulthood. Currently the development of biomarkers and effective treatments in FMR1 premutations is still in its infancy.

miRNA expression and interaction with the 3′UTR of FMR1 in FRAXopathy pathogenesis
FRAXopathies are caused by the expansion of the CGG repeat in the 5′UTR of the FMR1 gene, which encodes the protein responsible for the synthesis of FMRP.
