Abnormalities in the X-linked FMR1 gene are associated with a constellation of disorders, which have broad and profound implications for the person first diagnosed, and extended family members of all ages.

Background Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late onset, X-linked genetic, neurodegenerative disorder caused by a “premutation (PM)” in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. Here we report a case of FXTAS from mainland of

We conducted a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey of fragile X-associated disorders (FXD) in Serbia in order to obtain baseline quantitative and qualitative KAP data on fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1) pre- and full mutations (PM ...

Increased severity of fragile X spectrum disorders in the agricultural community of Ricaurte, Colombia [PDF]
Premutation carriers of the FMR1 gene (CGG repeats between 55 and 200) usually have normal intellectual abilities but approximately 20% are diagnosed with developmental problems or autism spectrum disorder.

Fragile X-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (FXAND)
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by the full mutation (>200 CGG repeats) in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability (ID) and autism.

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 ...

Image_1_Predictors of Comorbid Conditions in Women Who Carry an FMR1 Premutation.jpg
Purpose: Women who carry an FMR1 premutation (PM) can experience two well-established PM-associated disorders: fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI, affects ~20–30% carriers) and fragile X-associated tremor-ataxia syndrome (FXTAS ...

FXTAS and the Spectrum of FMR1 Premutation‐Associated Phenotypes in Latin America: A Scoping Review
Abstract Background Fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late‐onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by FMR1 premutation expansions (55–200 CGG repeats). Although well described in populations of predominantly European ancestry, FXTAS remains poorly characterized in Latin America due to limited awareness, restricted access to ...

Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting
