This research looks at how a child’s level of intellectual disability (ID) — meaning how much their thinking and learning abilities are affected — relates to the types of behavioral challenges they experience if they have Fragile X syndrome (FXS).
Research Summary: This research was very revealing. Currently, we do not have accurate methods to predict who will develop FXTAS and who will not, or when the disease will start.
Research Summary: The results found from the EEGs in both the FMR1 KO mice and humans with FXS are extremely important for the future of FXS research because they show a measurable commonality between the two very different species.
Research Result: Overall, the study results suggest a possible treatment to restore FMRP in individuals with FXS. These findings also suggest that abnormal RNA sequencing events identified in white blood cells may serve as powerful biomarkers for FXS.
A publication was released summarizing one lab’s discovery that could lead to a future treatment for Fragile X.
