Taxonomic features of fragile X syndrome (FXS) associated with the fragile X mutation have evolved over several decades. Males are more severely impacted cognitively than females, but both show declines in IQ scores as they age. Although many males with FXS exhibit autistic-like features, autism doe

The publication of 2 studies in this issueoftheJourna1 [Fisch, 1992; Reiss and Freund, 19921 on the relationship between the fragile X [fra(X)] and autistic syndromes provides an appropriate time to review the continuing debate about whether or not there is a relationshipbetween these 2 syndromes.
We present data on 4 mentally retarded brothers, 2 of whom were dizygotic twins withcongenital hypotonia, constipation, head size disproportionately large for length or height, and a combination of minor anomalies suggestive of FG syndrome. These brothers have a mentally retarded full sister with si
The study of the neurobehavioral consequences of mutations of FMR1, the gene responsible for fragile X syndrome (FraX), has been based largely on correlations between mutation patterns and cognitive profile. Following the characterization of FMRP, the FMR1 gene product, preliminary correlations betw
