Site Map MRDDRC UCEDD Organization ... Admin Research Emphasis Area on Fragile X Syndrome Coordinator: Charles Laird, PhD Fragile X syndrome is an inherited disorder with symptoms of mild to severe mental retardation. A wide range of altered cell and molecular phenotypes is caused by an expansion of a triplet repeat in a single gene, FMR1. New and deeper analyses of molecular and clinical data have revealed a greater diversity of clinical and molecular phenotypes in fragile X than was previously evident. The near-completion of the Human Genome Project is yielding new opportunities for molecular discovery and clinical intervention. Moreover, new technologies, such as the chip-based microarray method for sequence analysis, permit systematic molecular characterizations that were previously not feasible. The availability of these new technologies provides a stimulus and focus for our long-term goals: to understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to the fragile X syndrome, how these altered mechanisms lead to clinical symptoms, and how clinical interventions are useful for fragile X patients and their families. The Research Empahsis Area on Fragile X Syndrome involves numerous research groups, some of which are involved in multi-site collaborations.

@import "../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Genewatch: Screening for Fragile-X Syndrome HTA report A recently published report commissioned by the HTA programme sets out the current state of knowledge about screening for the fragile-X syndrome. The work reported involved a comprehensive systematic review of over 500 papers on the subject. Its stated purpose was to provide the information needed to decide whether to use DNA testing to screen for the disorder. In this it is, not surprisingly, only partly successful. Most of its recommendations are for further studies because current information isn't adequate to allow rational decisions to be made about future screening strategies. Fragile-X Fragile-X syndrome is the second most common cause of severe mental retardation after Down's syndrome. The latest population prevalence figures are about 1 in 4,000 for males and 1 in 8,000 for females. About 6% of institutionalised individuals with learning difficulties have the syndrome. It was first described in 1969 and the responsible gene, FMR-1, was identified in 1991. In addition to varying degrees of mental retardation the clinical phenotype often includes macro-orchidism in males, abnormal facies with prominent forehead, large jaw and large ears, joint laxity and behavioural problems. The syndrome gets its name from the fact that chromosomal analysis usually reveals a narrowing near the end of the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq27).
