Urine-Derived Epithelial Cell Lines: A New Tool to Model Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) [PDF]

Cells, 2020
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental condition associated with intellectual disability and behavioral problems due to the lack of the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and memory.

Vocabulary comprehension in adults with fragile X syndrome (FXS) [PDF]

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2019
Background Receptive and expressive vocabulary in adult and adolescent males with fragile X syndrome (FXS) have been shown as significantly lower than their chronological age; however, receptive vocabulary has been considered a strength relative to ...

Serum Metabolic and Gut Microbiome Differences in Age-Associated Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) Pediatric Patients May Benefit Clinical Therapy Development [PDF]

International Journal of General Medicine
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a rare, genetically based neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability. While previous research has largely focused on its genetic mechanisms, the role of metabolism and the gut microbiome in FXS remains underexplored.

Fragile X Syndrome and Targeted Treatments [PDF]

Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research, 2020
Many targeted treatment studies have been carried out in individuals with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) guided by animal studies from the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) knock out (KO) mice and the fragile X Drosophila studies.

Fragile X syndrome and fragile X-associated disorders [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

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;

Identity and Reproductive Aspects in Females with Fragile X Syndrome

Women's Health Reports, 2021
Purpose: Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is caused by a full mutation in the FMR1 gene, defined by >200 CGG repeats. It is the leading cause of inherited intellectual disability, but presents with a wide range of clinical variability in males and ...

Proteomics insights into fragile X syndrome: Unraveling molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

Neurobiology of Disease
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopment disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, behavioral challenges, and synaptic abnormalities, with a genetic basis linked to a mutation in the FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) gene that ...

Case report: genetic analysis of a novel frameshift mutation in FMR1 gene in a Chinese family

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
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 ...

Thyroxin-binding globulin deficiency in a boy with fragile X syndrome: a case report [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2016
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common known genetic cause of male intellectual disability. A wide variety of medical problems has been reported in FXS syndrome including seizures, facial abnormalities, macroorchidism, and autistic disorders.

Homeostatic Intrinsic Plasticity Is Functionally Altered in Fmr1 KO Cortical Neurons

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Cortical hyperexcitability is a hallmark of fragile X syndrome (FXS). In the Fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse model of FXS, cortical hyperexcitability is linked to sensory hypersensitivity and seizure susceptibility.
