Fragile X syndrome is one of the most common human genetic diseases and the most
common cause of hereditary mental retardation. The gene that causes frag ile X syndrome …

The Fragile X protein FMRP is an RNA binding protein whose targets are not well known;
yet, these RNAs may play an integral role in the disease's etiology. Using a biotinylated …

Silenced expression of the FMR1 gene is responsible for the fragile X syndrome. The FMR1
gene codes for an RNA binding protein (FMRP), which can shuttle between the nucleus and …

FMR1 is an RNA-binding protein that is either absent or mutated in patients affected by the
fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of mental retardation in humans …

Fragile X syndrome, the most common form of hereditary mental retardation, usually results
from lack of expression of the FMR1 gene. The FMR1 protein is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding …

Fragile X syndrome is caused by the transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene due to a
trinucleotide repeat expansion. The encoded protein, Fmrp, has been found to be a …

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation. It is caused by
loss of FMR1 gene activity due to either lack of expression or expression of a mutant form of …

Fragile X syndrome is caused by the absence of protein FMRP, the function of which is still
poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested that FMRP may be involved in various …

The mental retardation, autistic features, and behavioral abnormalities characteristic of the
Fragile X mental retardation syndrome result from the loss of function of the RNA–binding …

Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome is the most common form of hereditary mental
retardation, and is caused by defects in the FMR1 gene. FMR1 is an RNA‐binding protein …
