In the latest from the NFXF Webinar Series, Drs. Georgina Peacock and Jennifer Kaminski from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention join Dr. Elizabeth Berry-Kravis and NFXF team members Amie Milunovich and Robby Miller, to discuss the advances made in understanding Fragile X Syndrome through FORWARD↗, the Fragile X Online Registry With Accessible Research Database.
Drs. Peacock and Kaminski each express their gratitude for the partnership with the National Fragile X Foundation and to the families who have participated.
The good news is, there are currently 18 journal publications resulting from FORWARD data, with many more to come!

She also discusses the virtual participation option for adults↗ with Fragile X syndrome.
