Fragile X syndrome is caused by lack of one protein, FMRP. But this one protein occurs in different variations. Do the different versions of FMRP have different roles in the brain, and if so, is there one that's key? If we could replace FMRP to treat Fragile X syndrome, which version would we use? With a research grant from FRAXA team of Dr. Yongjie Yang and Dr. Kathryn Reynolds aims to find out, which may inform future therapeutic research.
