Refining translational treatment development in fragile X syndrome: Lessons learned and future directions

New Content ItemFragile X research has been very productive since the underlying genetic cause of the disease was discovered, with many studies reporting novel treatments that address neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, and behavioral features in mouse models. However, translating this to humans has proved difficult. Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is proud to publish this thematic series, which examines the research to date and suggests ways to overcome some of the challenges facing Fragile X research.
This series was edited by Professor Craig Erickson (Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center).

  1. CONTENT TYPE:RESEARCH

    Existing literature draws links between social attention and socio-behavioural profiles in neurodevelopmental disorders. Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is associated with a known socio-behavioural phenotype of socia...

  2. CONTENT TYPE:RESEARCH

    Arbaclofen improved multiple abnormal phenotypes in animal models of fragile X syndrome (FXS) and showed promising results in a phase 2 clinical study. The objective of the study is to determine safety and eff...

  3. CONTENT TYPE:RESEARCH

    Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) occurs as a result of a silenced fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1) and subsequent loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) expression. Loss of FMRP alters excitatory/i...
