Pathological Plasticity in Fragile X Syndrome
Neural Plasticity, 2012 Deficits in neuronal plasticity are common hallmarks of many neurodevelopmental disorders. In the case of fragile-X syndrome (FXS), disruption in the function of a single gene, FMR1, results in a variety of neurological consequences directly related to ...

Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The present longitudinal study focuses on FMR1 premutation carrier women during midlife and early old age (n = 115). Bringing together the genetic risk factor of a family history of FXTAS and the environmental protective factor of higher education, the goal of the study was to determine how these factors potentially interact to predict self ...

Fragile X syndrome and epilepsy [PDF]
Neuroscience Bulletin, 2008 Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most prevalent mental retardations. It is mainly caused by the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is an RNA binding protein and can regulate the translation of its binding RNA, thus regulate several signaling pathways. Many FXS patients show high susceptibility to epilepsy.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...
