Fragile X syndrome is caused by the loss of the FMR1 gene product, fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). The loss of FMRP leads to altered circadian rhythm behaviors in both mouse and Drosophila; however, the molecular mechanism behind this ...

Fragile X syndrome, a leading cause of inherited mental retardation, is attributable to the unstable expansion of a CGG-repeat within the FMR1 gene that results in the absence of the encoded protein.

A mouse model of the human Fragile X syndrome I304N mutation.
The mental retardation, autistic features, and behavioral abnormalities characteristic of the Fragile X mental retardation syndrome result from the loss of function of the RNA-binding protein FMRP.

Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) encoded by Fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene is a RNA-binding regulator of mRNA translation, transport and stability with multiple targets responsible for proper synaptic function. Epigenetic silencing

BDNF Regulates the Expression of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein mRNA in the Hippocampus
Both fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are implicated in the maturation of neurons and in the higher cognitive functions. We have investigated whether FMRP and BDNF are reciprocally regulated in neurons.

Fragile X mental retardation protein controls synaptic vesicle exocytosis by modulating N-type calcium channel density. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common heritable form of mental retardation, is characterized by synaptic dysfunction. Synaptic transmission depends critically on presynaptic calcium entry via voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels.
