About Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the FMR1 gene. It affects approximately 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females. At present there are no approved treatments that target the underlying biology of Fragile X available. The syndrome manifests in developmental delays, learning difficulties, anxiety, hyperactivity and autistic-like behaviors. PDE inhibitors aim to elevate cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, rebuild neural signaling networks and restore synaptic plasticity—a pathway particularly relevant in Fragile X and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
