Can Medications Reactivate the FMR1 Gene to Reverse Fragile X?

Описание: FRAXA's latest research grant goes to Dr. Jeannie Lee and Dr. Hungoo Lee at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. This team is targeting the root cause of Fragile X syndrome: extra DNA (CGG repeats) which shut down a single gene. Using a drug "cocktail" they are able to shrink this extra DNA in cells in their lab! With this new $90,000 FRAXA Fellowship, thanks to major support from The Pierce Family Fragile X Foundation, Drs. Lee and Lee are working to move these results forward.

FRAXA’s mission is to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X syndrome. We directly fund research grants and fellowships at top universities around the world. We partner with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, large and small, to bridge the gap between research discoveries and actual treatments.

Treatments for Fragile X are likely to help people affected by autism, Alzheimer’s, and other brain disorders.
