What Kind of Fragile X Research Is Available at UNC?
Areas of research interest are: understanding the language challenges of children with fragile X syndrome; the ways in which families are affected by,
and adapt to, having a child with the syndrome; the effectiveness of specific medications in treating fragile X syndrome; and the ways in which certain
types of social activities are processed in the brains of children and adults with fragile X syndrome.
