Aberrant neural function during emotion attribution in female subjects with fragile X syndrome.
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 2008; (12): 1443-354
Fragile X (FraX) syndrome is caused by mutations of the FraX mental retardation-1 gene-a gene responsible for producing FraX mental retardation protein. The neurocognitive phenotype associated with FraX in female subjects includes increased risk for emotional disorders including social anxiety, depression, and attention deficit. Here, the authors investigated the neurobiological systems underlying emotion attribution in female subjects with FraX syndrome.
