The Fragile X Syndrome

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1992
SUMMARYWe have begun to appreciate that the extent of this disorder is much wider than merely mental retardation. It is also a common cause of learning and emotional problems in mildly affected female carriers with normal IQS. These children present an enormous challenge to all child‐care providers, be they in medicine, education, or in various therapy

open access: yes, 2010
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common inherited forms of intellectual disability. It affects on average 1/4000 males and 1/7000 females. FXS was described for the first time in 1943 by Martin and Bell.

Fragile X syndrome and fragile X-associated disorders [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by a full mutation on theFMR1gene and a subsequent lack of FMRP, the protein product ofFMR1. FMRP plays a key role in regulating the translation of many proteins involved in maintaining neuronal synaptic connections; its deficiency may result in a range of intellectual disabilities, social deficits, psychiatric ...

Emerging role of the KCNT1 Slack channel in intellectual disability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The sodium-activated potassium KNa channels Slack and Slick are encoded by KCNT1 and KCNT2, respectively. These channels are found in neurons throughout the brain, and are responsible for a delayed outward current termed IKNa.
