AbstractObjectiveTo determine how neuroanatomic variation in children and adolescents with fragile X syndrome is linked to reduced levels of the fragile X mental retardation‐1 protein and to aberrant cognition and behavior.MethodsThis study included 84 children and adolescents with the fragile X full mutation and 72 typically developing control ...

Hair root FMRP expression for screening of fragile X full mutation females
The fragile X syndrome is the most common form of inherited mental retardation in humans, caused by an expansion of the cytosine-guanine-guanine (CGG) repeat in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene located on the X chromosome.

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein FMRP Binds mRNAs in the Nucleus [PDF]
The fragile X mental retardation protein FMRP is an RNA binding protein that associates with a large collection of mRNAs. Since FMRP was previously shown to be a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein, we examined the hypothesis that FMRP binds its cargo mRNAs in the nucleus.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most frequent inherited form of mental retardation. The cause for this X-linked disorder is the silencing of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (fmr1) gene and the absence of the fragile X mental retardation protein (Fmrp).

Detection and Quantification of the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein 1 (FMRP). [PDF]
The final product of FMR1 gene transcription, Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein 1 (FMRP), is an RNA binding protein that acts as a repressor of translation. FMRP is expressed in several tissues and plays important roles in neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and ovarian functions and has been implicated in a number of neuropsychological disorders ...

The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein in Circadian Rhythmicity and Memory Consolidation [PDF]
The control of new protein synthesis provides a means to locally regulate the availability of synaptic components necessary for dynamic neuronal processes. The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding translational regulator, is a key player mediating appropriate synaptic protein synthesis in response to neuronal activity levels ...

Fragile X syndrome, a common form of inherited mental retardation, is caused by the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). We have previously demonstrated that dFmr1, the Drosophila ortholog of the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene, plays

Local translation at the synapse plays key roles in neuron development and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. mRNAs are translocated from the neuronal soma to the distant synapses as compacted ribonucleoparticles referred to as RNA granules.

The research progress on the role of FMRP in the pathogenesis of tumors
Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a selective RNA-binding protein that is highly expressed in neurons and influences cytoskeletal remodeling, cell-cell signal transduction and interactions.

Fragile-X mental retardation is caused by loss of function of a single gene encoding the Fragile-X mental retardation protein, FMRP, an RNA-binding protein that harbors two KH-type and one RGG-type RNA-binding domains.
