Early Diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2003
Surveys from 274 families with at least one child with fragile X syndrome (FXS) were used to determine factors associated with the discovery of the diagnosis in a study at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC.

Auditory Processing in Fragile X Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited form of intellectual disability and autism. Among other symptoms, FXS patients demonstrate abnormalities in sensory processing and communication.

A mouse model of the fragile X premutation: Effects on behavior, dendrite morphology, and regional rates of cerebral protein synthesis

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2011
Carriers of FMR1 premutation alleles have 55–200 CGG repeats in the 5′ untranslated region of the gene. These individuals are at risk for fragile X associated primary ovarian insufficiency (females) and, in late life, fragile X associated tremor and ...

Cognitive, Behavioral, and Adaptive Functioning in Fragile X and Non-Fragile X Retarded Men [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive functioning of 12 men with fragile X syndrome (aged 23 to 62 years) was systematically assessed and compared to two matched groups of retarded men without fragile X syndrome residing at the same institution.

Fragile X founder effect and distribution of CGG repeats among the mentally retarded population of Andalusia, South Spain

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation. We investigated the prevalence of the Fragile X syndrome in the population with mental retardation of unknown etiology in Andalusia, South Spain.

Pathological Plasticity in Fragile X Syndrome

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2012
Deficits in neuronal plasticity are common hallmarks of many neurodevelopmental disorders. In the case of fragile-X syndrome (FXS), disruption in the function of a single gene, FMR1, results in a variety of neurological consequences directly related to ...

Neurocognitive endophenotypes in CGG KI and Fmr1 KO mouse models of Fragile X-Associated disorders: an analysis of the state of the field [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2mk]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
It has become increasingly important that the field of behavioral genetics identifies not only the gross behavioral phenotypes associated with a given mutation, but also the behavioral endophenotypes that scale with the dosage of the particular mutation ...

Clinical and molecular implications of mosaicism in FMR1 full mutations

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2014
Expansions of more than 200 CGG repeats (full mutation) in the FMR1 gene give rise to fragile X syndrome (FXS) through a process that generally involves hypermethylation of the FMR1 promoter region and gene silencing, resulting in absence of expression ...
