A Human Forebrain Organoid Model of Fragile X Syndrome Exhibits Altered Neurogenesis
While there is promise for future treatments, utilizing this iPSC brain organoid model for future treatment development could prove to be successful.

This study shines a light on the need for better long-term support and care planning for individuals with Fragile X syndrome.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZYN002, a clear gel that can be applied to the skin (called transdermal application) twice a day for the treatment of behavioral symptoms of Fragile X syndrome (FXS).
Raising knowledge and awareness of Fragile X syndrome to medical professionals leads to direct benefits for families and individuals.
The aim of this study was to determine parents’ main priorities for clinical trials, at a time when the clinical trial opportunities are on the rise.
We asked this year’s four NFXF Summer Scholars — Collis Brown, John Burwinkle, Bonnie McKinnon, and Elizabeth Saoud — to summarize their summer project in a 15-minute video presentation, and here they are!
We held an NFXF Webinar with three of our industry partners working on treatments for Fragile X syndrome. Each shared the most up-to-date information on their research project(s) in a way that is understood by those who aren’t steeped in drug research day in and day out. A short Q&A followed each presentation.
A study to learn about memory and memory development in children with Fragile X syndrome.
Purdue University is conducting a research study to learn about how genetic, biological, nutritional, and environmental information relates to health and development in Fragile X syndrome.
The Spatial Development Lab at Montclair State University is conducting a research study to learn about spatial abilities, such as why we sometimes get lost in the environment.
This study is important for later-diagnosed individuals as it creates successful predictive models that can identify cases five years earlier than clinical diagnosis.
Data from 8 unique studies speaks to the necessity of early identification of FXS, which leads to earlier, effective medical and non-medical interventions.
Your summary of the results, including why it matters to you and next steps, from the Dr. Liz Berry-Kravis and Tetra Therapeutics BPN14770 trial results published in Nature Medicine. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study.
The Development in Neurogenetic Disorders Lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is conducting a research study to learn about what skills support early language development.
A guide to better understanding of clinical trials, including how they work and how to become a participant.
