INTRODUCTION Fragile X syndrome is a well-recognised cause of developmental delay in males and to a lesser extent females. The aim of the present study was to present a detailed cognitive and behaviour analysis of the core attention impairments frequently associated with fragile X. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two complementary studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the severity and range of behavi...

Twelve males with fragile-X syndrome between the ages of three and 28 years underwent assessment of thyroid function. All 12 subjects demonstrated normal baseline values for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine, thyroid binding globulin (TBG), and estimated free thyroxine (EFT). Relative to a control group reported in the literature, however, the fragile-X subjects exhibited a blunted T...

In this paper, non-fragile characteristics existing in control systems are studied, and the existing sufficient condition for the non-fragile guaranteed cost control rate based on Lyapunov stable theory are derived, which can ensure the close-loop system asymptotically stability for any allowed uncertainties, and that performance index of the close-loop system doesn’t exceed some upper bound fo...

Attentional deficits and executive function impairments are common to many neurodevelopmental disorders of intellectual disability and autism, including Fragile X syndrome (FXS). In the knockout mouse model for FXS, significant changes in synaptic plasticity and connectivity are found in the prefrontal cortex (PFC)-a prominent region for attentional processing and executive control. Given these...

The utility of the pfxa3 probe for direct molecular diagnosis of the fragile X (FRAXA) has been established. This probe detects amplification of an unstable DNA element consisting of variable length CCG repeats. The size of the amplified fragment is correlated with phenotype and was determined using PstI digested DNA in family members. In 35 families with the fragile X, there was correspondence...
