Fragile X Syndrome

Fragile X syndrome is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability. Disease severity can vary but all forms seem to be caused by expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene that silences the gene. Fly stocks in the Bloomington collection that can be used to study Fragile X Syndrome are listed here.
