How is FMRP Related to Fragile X-Associated Disorders?
Mutations in the FMR1 gene can lead to a spectrum of conditions known as Fragile X-associated disorders. These include Fragile X Syndrome, Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), and Fragile X-associated Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (FXPOI). Each of these conditions has distinct clinical features but shares a common genetic basis.
