Scientists have created a new therapeutic approach for testing fragile X syndrome, which is the most common genetic cause of ...

Boosting NMDA receptor signaling corrected excess protein synthesis in Fragile X model mice. Experimental drug Glyx-13 restored synaptic plasticity and reduced seizures in mice. Findings open the door ...

A new study suggests a potential molecular strategy for treating fragile X syndrome, an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that causes autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

A recent theory about the basis for fragile X syndrome is now validated in a mouse model. The findings point the way to treatment options targeting group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors.
