We are delighted to share that a new consensus paper, “New Developments in Fragile X Premutation-Associated Conditions: Consensus Perspectives from the 6th International Conference on FMR1 Premutation”, is now available in Genetics in Medicine Open. 

Developed following the 6th International Conference on FMR1 Premutation in Italy, the paper brings together researchers and clinicians from across the international fragile X community to synthesize recent advances in fragile X premutation-associated conditions. It highlights emerging molecular and clinical findings, identifies priorities for future research, and emphasizes the importance of clear, non-stigmatizing communication about the range of health vulnerabilities that appear associated with the premutation. 

The paper includes contributions from several members of the University of South Carolina Fragile X community, including Drs. Jessica Klusek and Lauren Jenner from the SC Family Lab, alongside colleagues, Drs. Jane Roberts, Rachel Hantman, Lisa Hamrick, and Holley Arnold. 

We are especially excited that the paper was led by Federica Alice Maria Montanaro, who is hoping to join the University of South Carolina team in the new year. We look forward to welcoming her expertise to the lab!
