The Future of Fragile X Syndrome: CDC Stakeholder Meeting Summary Catharine Riley, PhD, MPH,a Marsha Mailick, PhD,b Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, MD, PhD, c,d, e Julie Bolen, PhD, MPHa

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common known inherited cause of intellectual (ID). Males and with FXS exhibit a wide range of intellectual ability and may experience various degrees of emotional, behavioral, sensory, learning, and social difficulties. In 1991, the responsible for FXS was identified on the X at q27.3 and named fragile x mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. 1 FXS and fragile X–associated disorders (FXD) are caused by a trinucleotide repeat (CGG) expansion in the region (exon 1) of FMR1. Affected individuals with the full FXS mutation have >200 repeats. When the full mutation is present, FMR1 occurs during gestation, which causes silencing of gene transcription.2 This in turn leads to a reduction or absence of fragile X mental retardation (FMRP), which is needed for brain development and function. Most males with FXS have ID. A small number of males have less impaired function due to methylation patterns or mosaicism. In females, FMRP levels depend on the X activation ratio, or the percent of cells expressing the normal on the active ,3 resulting in a range of normal intellectual ability to moderate ID. Over the past 2 decades, scientists have made significant advancements in identifying and describing genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of FXS, allowing for a more precise diagnosis of this condition. The present challenge is to move from accurate diagnosis to public health action for FXS, requiring better understanding of the natural history of FXS, a clear description of how this complex condition affects individuals and their families, and identification of interventions and treatments that can lead to better outcomes. The more we know about this population across the life span, both from a clinical and parent or caregiver perspective, the better we can design treatments, services, and care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hosted a meeting in May 2014 to engage FXS stakeholders in the process of framing a public health
