Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by hypermethylation of expanded CGG repeats (>200) in the FMR1 gene leading to gene silencing and loss of Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein (FMRP) expression. FMRP plays important roles in neuronal function, and loss of FMRP in mouse and human FXS cell models leads to aberrant synaptic signaling and hyperexcitability. Multiple drug candidates...
