FORWARD Registry and Database
Supported by the Fragile X Clinical & Research Consortium (FXCRC), the FORWARD (Fragile X Online Registry With Accessible Research Database) Registry and Database is available for individuals and family members to join to help increase understanding of fragile X syndrome through clinical research.
FRAXA Research Foundation's Research Priorities
FRAXA Research Foundation's research portfolio spans the spectrum of translational, preclinical, and clinical research. FRAXA Research Foundation maintains a diversified approach by developing several treatment strategies at the same time because success is never certain when developing a single drug.
NIH Research Plan on Fragile X Syndrome and Associated Disorders
In the spring of 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) convened working groups to develop comprehensive recommendations for specific, high-priority research objectives for fragile X syndrome (FXS) and the associated disorders of fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) and fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI). This research plan details goals generated by the working groups to facilitate coordinated research activities that will lead to timely detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the targeted disorders.
