Brief Report: Aggression and Stereotypic Behavior in Males with Fragile X Syndrome—Moderating Secondary Genes in a “Single Gene” Disorder / David HESSL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-1 (January 2008)

Here, we studied two candidate genes known to affect mood and aggression, the serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA-VNTR) polymorphisms, in 50 males with FXS ages 8–24 years. Mothers and fathers of participants reported the frequency and severity of aggressive/destructive, self-injurious, and stereotypic behaviors. Polymorphism genotypes were unrelated to age and IQ. Results showed a significant effect of 5-HTTLPR genotype on aggressive/destructive and stereotypic behavior; males with FXS who were homozygous for the high-transcribing long (L/L) genotype had the most aggressive and destructive behavior, and individuals homozygous for the short (S/S) genotype had the least aggression. Those with the L/L genotype also had the highest levels of stereotypic behavior. There was no effect of MAOA-VNTR on behavior; however those with the high-activity, 4-repeat genotype were more likely to be taking SSRI or SNRI medication. This preliminary study prompts consideration of secondary genes that may modify behavioral phenotype expression in neurodevelopmental disorders, even those with a single gene etiology such as FXS.

Brief Report: Sensorimotor Gating in Idiopathic Autism and Autism Associated with Fragile X Syndrome / Jennifer YUHAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-2 (February 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-2 (February 2011) . - p.248-253 Titre : Brief Report: Sensorimotor Gating in Idiopathic Autism and Autism Associated with Fragile X Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer YUHAS, Auteur ; Lisa CORDEIRO, Auteur ; Flora TASSONE, Auteur ; Elizabeth C. BALLINGER, Auteur ; Andrea SCHNEIDER, Auteur ; James M. LONG, Auteur ; Edward M. ORNITZ, Auteur ; David HESSL, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.248-253 Note générale : Article Open Access Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : PPI  FMR1 gene  Sensorimotor gating  mGluR5  Prepulse inhibition  Startle Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Prepulse inhibition (PPI) may useful for exploring the proposed shared neurobiology between idiopathic autism and autism caused by FXS. We compared PPI in four groups: typically developing controls (n = 18), FXS and autism (FXS+A; n = 15), FXS without autism spectrum disorder (FXS−A; n = 17), and idiopathic autism (IA; n = 15). Relative to controls, the FXS+A (p < 0.002) and FXS−A (p < 0.003) groups had impaired PPI. The FXS+A (p < 0.01) and FXS−A (p < 0.03) groups had lower PPI than the IA group. Prolonged startle latency was seen in the IA group. The differing PPI profiles seen in the FXS+A and IA indicates these groups may not share a common neurobiological abnormality of sensorimotor gating.
