Mis-spliced FMR1 transcripts in human fragile X syndrome neural progenitors and neurons [PDF]
Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss of fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (FMRP). In most cases, this results from a CGG expansion exceeding 200 repeats in the 5’ untranslated region of the fragile X ...

Silencing of the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene and a consequent lack of FMR protein (FMRP) synthesis are associated with fragile X syndrome, one of the most common inherited intellectual disabilities.

SPG601-associated modulation of resting-state EEG and improvement in executive function in a fragile X syndrome randomized controlled crossover study [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Despite extensive research, no targeted treatments exist for the core symptoms of FXS.

Transcriptomic profiling of unmethylated full mutation carriers implicates TET3 in FMR1 CGG repeat expansion methylation dynamics in fragile X syndrome [PDF]
Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5’UTR of the FMR1 (fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1) gene. Healthy individuals possess a repeat 30–55 CGG units in length. Once the

Associations between plasma 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol and neuropsychological profile in fragile X syndrome [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by mutations in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene, characterized by low plasma cholesterol levels. Considering the essential role of brain cholesterol in signaling and synaptogenesis, it is important to screen for

Age-Related Decline in Dendritic Architecture of Hippocampal CA1 Principal Neurons in a Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and is associated with attention deficits, hyperactivity, anxiety, impulsivity, and repetitive behaviors. The disorder results from transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene, leading to loss of fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (FMRP), an RNA‐binding ...

Use of Machine Learning to Identify Markers of Risk for Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome: A Preliminary Analysis. [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to examine whether machine learning has the capacity to prospectively identify and predict the emergence of Fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) among male fragile X premutation carriers (PCs). Methods We explored neuropsychological and motor evaluation metrics, brain magnetic resonance imaging ...

Neurodevelopment and early pharmacological interventions in Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and the leading monogenic cause of autism and intellectual disability. For years, several efforts have been made to develop an effective therapeutic approach to phenotypically rescue patients from

Case report: genetic analysis of a novel frameshift mutation in FMR1 gene in a Chinese family
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) [OMIM 300624] is a common X-linked inherited syndrome with an incidence only second to that of trisomy 21. More than 95% of fragile X syndrome is caused by reduced or absent fragile X intellectual disability protein 1 (FMRP ...
