Epilepsy and Fragile X Syndrome
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2003 The seizure history of 136 patients with fragile X syndrome (FXS), (age range 2 to 51 years; 113 males and 23 females), were reviewed at RUSH-Presbyterian-St Luke’s Medical Center, Chicago, IL.

Diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1991 Direct diagnosis by DNA analysis of the fragile X syndrome was studied in 511 persons from 63 families with the syndrome at the Institute National de la Sante et de la Recherce Medicale (INSERM), Unite 184, Faculte de Medecine, Strasbourg, France and ...

Astrocytes in fragile X syndrome
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceAstrocytes have an important role in neuronal maturation and synapse function in the brain. The interplay between astrocytes and neurons is found to be altered in many neurodevelopmental disorders, including fragile X syndrome (FXS) that is the most ...

Fragile X syndrome and fragile X-associated disorders [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2017 Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by a full mutation on the FMR1 gene and a subsequent lack of FMRP, the protein product of FMR1. FMRP plays a key role in regulating the translation of many proteins involved in maintaining neuronal synaptic connections;

Fragile X syndrome in children [PDF]
Colombia Medica, 2023 Fragile X syndrome is caused by the expansion of CGG triplets in the FMR1 gene, which generates epigenetic changes that silence its expression. The absence of the protein coded by this gene, FMRP, causes cellular dysfunction, leading to impaired brain development and functional abnormalities.

Clinical Science, 1992 An amplification of a highly unstable DNA element has been identified at the fragile X locus in Xq27.3. This sequence appears to be both the source of the primary mutation causing the fragile X syndrome, apparently having its causative effect through the methylation of the FMR-1 HTF island and the region of cytogenetic fragility. The direct analysis of

An indirect examination of the function of problem behaviour associated with Fragile X Syndrome and Smith-Magenis Syndrome [PDF]
, 2011 Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) are associated with a number of specific topographies of problem behavior. Very few studies have examined the function served by problem behavior in these groups.

Current Genomics, 2011 Recent data from a national survey highlighted a significant difference in obesity rates in young fragile X males (31%) compared to age matched controls (18%). Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of intellectual disability in males and the most common single gene cause of autism.

Colombia medica (Cali, Colombia), 2014 Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disease due to a CGG trinucleotide expansion, named full mutation (greater than 200 CGG repeats), in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene locus Xq27.3; which leads to an hypermethylated region in the gene promoter therefore silencing it and lowering the expression levels of the fragile X mental retardation 1, a ...
