The Fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse is characterized by an increased audiogenic seizure (AGS) susceptibility and is considered a good animal model for epilepsy and seizures in the human fragile-X (FRAX) syndrome. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the reintroduction of the FMR1 gene is able to revert the AGS susceptibility characterizing Fmr1 KO mice. To this aim, two groups of Fmr1 KO transgenic mice,...
Lack of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) causes the fragile X syndrome, a common form of inherited mental retardation. The syndrome usually results from the expansion of a CGG repeat in the FMR1 gene with consequent transcriptional silencing of FMR1. However, one missense mutation (Ile304Asn) was reported in the second KH domain of the protein involved in RNA binding. The protein containing...
