A fragile balance: FMR1 expression levels.
The FMR1 gene is involved in three different syndromes, the Fragile X syndrome, premature ovarian failure (POF) and the Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) at older age. Fragile X syndrome is caused by an expanded CGG repeat above 200 units in the FMR1 gene resulting in the absence of the FMR1 mRNA and protein. The FMR1 protein is proposed to act as a regulator of mRNA transport...
متن کاملDeficient tonic GABAergic conductance and synaptic balance in the fragile X syndrome amygdala.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the leading cause of inherited intellectual disability. Comorbidities of FXS such as autism are increasingly linked to imbalances in excitation and inhibition (E/I) as well as dysfunction in GABAergic transmission in a number of brain regions including the amygdala. However, the link between E/I imbalance and GABAergic transmission deficits in the FXS amygdala is poo...

متن کاملSynaptic vesicle dynamic changes in a model of fragile X
BACKGROUND Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a single-gene disorder that is the most common heritable cause of intellectual disability and the most frequent monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). FXS is caused by an expansion of trinucleotide repeats in the promoter region of the fragile X mental retardation gene (Fmr1). This leads to a lack of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP)...
متن کاملFragile X Syndrome: A Disorder of Synaptic Protein Synthesis Dynamics
| Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a developmental disorder resulting from trinucleoide repeat expansion in the 5’UTR of FMR1 gene. Cognitive deficiency and autistic features are among the common phenotypes of FXS. FMR1 gene codes for the protein FMRP, the absence of which leads to abnormal dendritic spine morphology and defective synaptic plasticity in animal models of fragile X syndrome. FMRP is a...
