The Influence of Environmental and Genetic Factors on Behavior Problems and Autistic Symptoms in Boys and Girls With Fragile X Syndrome

Abstract

These findings are among the first to link FMRP expression to behavior. They also emphasize the significance of home- and school-based environmental variables in the neurobehavioral phenotype and help to lay the foundation for studies designed to identify specific interventions for reducing problem behavior in children with fragile X syndrome.
