New UC Davis research shows that men with an FMR1 premutation who experienced reduced executive function were at higher likelihood of developing fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS).

The syndrome is caused by a "premutation" expansion of the FMR1 gene. It's genetically related to fragile X syndrome. Both are caused by different-sized changes in the FMR1 gene. Fragile X syndrome ...

UC Davis MIND Institute researchers Randi and Paul Hagerman are calling for increased awareness and screening for fragile X-associated conditions. In a new paper published in the New England Journal ...

It’s been 22 years since UC Davis MIND Institute Medical Director Randi Hagerman and her husband, researcher Paul Hagerman, discovered the neurodegenerative condition called FXTAS (fragile ...

Mutations in FMR1, the gene encoding fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP), located at Xq27.3 and discovered in 1991, are the leading single-gene causes of autism and intellectual disability.

Nearly a year and a half ago, I penned my final “From the Editor” column for Lowcountry Parent, sharing publicly for the first time about my son Archer’s diagnosis of Fragile X syndrome at 3 years old ...
