...gene involved in all these disorders codes for a critical brain protein known as the fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMRP). This protein normally acts as a brake on the production of other proteins associated with learning and memory. But when more than 200 CGG repeats are present, the gene for FMRP tends to shut down and production of the other proteins spins out of control. The brain develops too many connections, or synapses, many of them immature and flimsy. The resulting symptoms range from learning disorders to mental retardation and often include autism, epilepsy, anxiety disorders and attention-deficit...
