Progress toward therapeutic potential for AFQ056 in Fragile X syndrome.

Journal of experimental pharmacology

Sourial M, Cheng C, Doering LC.
PMID: 27186135
J Exp Pharmacol. 2013 Jul 16;5:45-54. doi: 10.2147/JEP.S27044. eCollection 2013.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability and the leading single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by the lack of production of the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), resulting in cognitive...

Is metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 upregulated in prefrontal cortex in fragile X syndrome?.

Molecular autism

Lohith TG, Osterweil EK, Fujita M, Jenko KJ, Bear MF, Innis RB.
PMID: 23706040
Mol Autism. 2013 May 24;4(1):15. doi: 10.1186/2040-2392-4-15.

BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a common inherited form of intellectual disability caused by loss of function of the fragile X mental retardation protein. Recent animal studies suggest that upregulated downstream signaling by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5)...

Deletion of PTEN produces autism-like behavioral deficits and alterations in synaptic proteins.

Frontiers in molecular neuroscience

Lugo JN, Smith GD, Arbuckle EP, White J, Holley AJ, Floruta CM, Ahmed N, Gomez MC, Okonkwo O.
PMID: 24795561
Front Mol Neurosci. 2014 Apr 16;7:27. doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2014.00027. eCollection 2014.

Many genes have been implicated in the underlying cause of autism but each gene accounts for only a small fraction of those diagnosed with autism. There is increasing evidence that activity-dependent changes in neuronal signaling could act as a...

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals Presynaptic Localization of the ALS/FTD Related Protein FUS in Hippocampal Neurons.

Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

Schoen M, Reichel JM, Demestre M, Putz S, Deshpande D, Proepper C, Liebau S, Schmeisser MJ, Ludolph AC, Michaelis J, Boeckers TM.
PMID: 26834559
Front Cell Neurosci. 2016 Jan 12;9:496. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2015.00496. eCollection 2015.

Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) is a multifunctional RNA-/DNA-binding protein, which is involved in the pathogenesis of the neurodegenerative disorders amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). A common hallmark of these disorders is the abnormal accumulation of mutated...

Autism Spectrum Disorders and Drug Addiction: Common Pathways, Common Molecules, Distinct Disorders?.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Rothwell PE.
PMID: 26903789
Front Neurosci. 2016 Feb 05;10:20. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2016.00020. eCollection 2016.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and drug addiction do not share substantial comorbidity or obvious similarities in etiology or symptomatology. It is thus surprising that a number of recent studies implicate overlapping neural circuits and molecular signaling pathways in both...

Serotonin dysregulation in Fragile X Syndrome: implications for treatment.

Intractable & rare diseases research

Hanson AC, Hagerman RJ.
PMID: 25606361
Intractable Rare Dis Res. 2014 Nov;3(4):110-7. doi: 10.5582/irdr.2014.01027.

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a trinucleotide repeat disorder that results in the silencing of the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 gene (FMR1), leading to a lack of the FMR1 protein (FMRP). FMRP is an mRNA-binding protein that regulates...

Modeling fragile X syndrome in the Fmr1 knockout mouse.

Intractable & rare diseases research

Kazdoba TM, Leach PT, Silverman JL, Crawley JN.
PMID: 25606362
Intractable Rare Dis Res. 2014 Nov;3(4):118-33. doi: 10.5582/irdr.2014.01024.

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a commonly inherited form of intellectual disability and one of the leading genetic causes for autism spectrum disorder. Clinical symptoms of FXS can include impaired cognition, anxiety, hyperactivity, social phobia, and repetitive behaviors. FXS...

Update on the implication of potassium channels in autism: K(+) channelautism spectrum disorder.

Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

Guglielmi L, Servettini I, Caramia M, Catacuzzeno L, Franciolini F, D'Adamo MC, Pessia M.
PMID: 25784856
Front Cell Neurosci. 2015 Mar 02;9:34. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2015.00034. eCollection 2015.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterized by impaired ability to properly implement environmental stimuli that are essential to achieve a state of social and cultural exchange. Indeed, the main features of ASD are impairments of interpersonal relationships, verbal and...

Fragile X mental retardation protein: from autism to neurodegenerative disease.

Metabonomics adds a new dimension to fragile X syndrome.

Genome medicine

PMID: 22204589
Genome Med. 2011 Dec 28;3(12):80. doi: 10.1186/gm296.

Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability, but the underlying pathophysiology is complex and effective treatments are lacking. In a recent study of fragile X mental retardation 1 (Fmr1) knockout mice, the metabolic profile...

Impairment of fragile X mental retardation protein-metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 signaling and its downstream cognates ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1, amyloid beta A4 precursor protein, striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase, and homer 1, in autism: a postmortem study in cerebellar vermis and superior frontal cortex.
