The UC Davis MIND Institute and the National Fragile X Foundation are working to encourage and accelerate research about the genetic condition with a new registry. The International Fragile X ...

Individuals carrying a premutation in the fragile X gene may be stratified for their risks of developing cognitive problems, anxiety, and depression with a simple blood test, a new study suggests. The ...

A new paper in the journal NeuroImage: Clinical from researchers at the University of Kansas reveals a possible early indicator of Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, or FXTAS. The disease ...

Researchers have found that there may be a much broader health risk to carriers of the FMR1 premutation, with potentially dozens of clinical conditions that can be ascribed directly to carrying it.

LAWRENCE -- A new paper in the journal NeuroImage: Clinical from researchers at the University of Kansas reveals a possible early indicator of Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, or FXTAS.

Mutations in FMR1, the gene encoding fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP), located at Xq27.3 and discovered in 1991, are the leading single-gene causes of autism and intellectual disability.

Purpose: Women who carry a fragile X mental retardation 1 premutation are at risk for fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency and should be counseled for a potentially reduced fertility.

Researchers found an unexpected spectrum of mental illnesses in patients with a rare gene mutation. These patients had a ''double hit'' condition that combined features and symptoms of fragile X ...

How is Fragile X syndrome inherited? The gene for Fragile X is carried on the X chromosome. Because both males (XY) and females (XX) have at least one X chromosome, both can pass on the mutated gene ...
