Location of FMR1 on the X chromosome.

FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) is a human gene[5] that codes for a protein called fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein, or FMRP.[6] This protein, most commonly found in the brain, is essential for normal cognitive development and female reproductive function. Mutations of this gene can lead to fragile X syndrome, intellectual disability, premature ovarian failure, autism, Parkinson's disease, developmental delays and other cognitive deficits.[7] The FMR1 premutation is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes that affect more than two million people worldwide.[8]
