Fragile. X. syndrome. is. the. most. comm<strong>on</strong>. inherited. form. <strong>of</strong>. mental.<br />
retardati<strong>on</strong>. and. the. leading. known. cause. <strong>of</strong>.Autism.. . Many. affected.<br />
individuals. also. suffer. from. anxiety,. attenti<strong>on</strong>. deficit,. hyperactivity,.<br />
obsessive-compulsive. disorders,. developmental. seizures. and. subtle.<br />
physical.symptoms..These.wide.ranging.symptoms.are.caused.by.the.<br />
silencing. <strong>of</strong>. a. single. gene,. denoted. Fmr1.. In. unaffected. individuals,.<br />
this.gene.is.active.and.produces.a.protein.(FMRP).that.regulates.the.<br />
de.novo.synthesis.<strong>of</strong>.hundreds.<strong>of</strong>.other.proteins.at.synapses..Intensive,.<br />
