New Research on Fragile X Syndrome Reinforces Importance of Early Detection
Fragile X syndrome—the most common heritable cause of autism spectrum disorder—is something of a phantom. It interferes with the production of a protein critical to synapse formation during a brief period in early development when the brain is optimizing its ability to process sensory input.
