A comparison of family financial and employment impacts of fragile X syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, and intellectual disability. Res Dev Disabil 2014; 35 ( 7 ):1518-27.Ouyang L, Grosse SD, Riley C, Bolen J, Bishop E, Raspa M, Bailey DB Jr. A comparison of family financial and ...
Further support for this lack of a susceptible-allele pool as identified by repeat size alone comes from the comparison of the frequency of intermediate alleles (i.e., “susceptibility” alleles) and the prevalence of the fragile X syndrome. Previously, we found a decreased frequency of ...
Fragile X syndrome is due to a gene mutation on the X chromosome that impacts the FMRP protein, which is responsible for regulating the synapses of nerve cells. The full mutation causes Fragile X syndrome. It is estimated tha...

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a form of human mental retardation, is caused byloss of function mutations in the Fragile X Mental Retardation gene (FMR1). Theprotein product of FMR1, Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is an RNAbinding protein and may function as a translational suppressor...
What is Fragile X? The syndrome is a mutation of the FMR1 gene. While it is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability, it impacts men more than women. Some people may have the gene mutation, but never show signs. Symptoms may also develop later in life. Those who do ...
