Research

The Fragile X Syndrome Clinic at Emory is actively engaged with the Fragile X Clinics and Research Consortium (FXCRC) affiliated with the National Fragile X Foundation. The FXCRC is actively establishing "best practice" recommendations for evaluation and ongoing care in fragile X, enrolling fragile X families into a national registry to be used for research (the FORWARD registry), and research recruitment, and building a nationwide network for collaborative research efforts.

For more information about fragile X clinical research studies currently recruiting at Emory, please contact our clinical research coordinator at 404-778-8619 or email. 

For more information about the FORWARD registry, please call 404-778-8478, or email.
