In this study, scientists delve head first into finding out more about the often crippling disorder, Fragile X Syndrome. This sickness is a proven cause of autism, and intellectual challenges. There are many different intensities to the genetically inherited disease, and even those individuals who are merely carriers suffer various challenges such as social difficulties, anxiety, and depression disorders. In people will the maximum expression of the disease, the brain is blocked from manufactuing a key protein, while in those with differnet levels produce significently less of this protein. After studying a large population of both men and women, researchers have found a way to increase the protein production. Knowing little about Fragile X Syndrome, any new information is critical.
Considering the severity of what comes with this disorder, I found this article informative and interesting. It seems that if there is a way to up the lacking protein production, this sickness could one day be eliminated all together. If Autism, being the serious and crippling disease it is, were cured or at least minimized or controlled, this would be a huge breakthrough for sufferers, family, friends, and the world at large.
