Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a heritable mental retardation disease caused by unstable trinucleotide repeat sequences in FMR1. FXS is characterized by delayed development, hyperactivity, and autism behavior. Zebrafish is an excellent model to study FXS and the underlying function of fmr1. However, at present, fmr1 function is mainly studied via morpholinos or generated mutants using targeting induced local lesions...
