Scientists have created a new therapeutic approach for testing fragile X syndrome, which is the most common genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This method aims to alter a type of neural ...

Researchers have developed an innovative new nanopore sequencing assay to identify carriers of fragile X syndrome (FXS), the leading cause of monogenic autism spectrum disorder and inherited ...

Research on fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of mental retardation, has focused mostly on how the genetic defect alters the functioning of neurons in the brain. A new study focusing ...

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.

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Interview, researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Hirosaki University have uncovered critical new insights into the ...

Quralis Corp. has entered into a number of agreements with the aim of advancing the treatment of fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition caused by a mutation of a single gene – fragile X messenger ...
