FRAXA Research Foundation launched World Fragile X Day in 2021 with communities around the world.
World Fragile X Day celebrates families impacted by Fragile X and highlights progress of research to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure. On World Fragile X Day we shine a light on Fragile X by illuminating monuments and landmarks around the world. We gather with friends and family to celebrate loved ones who shine in the face of Fragile X.
As the most common inherited single gene cause of autism, Fragile X is the best key we have to solving autism. Treatments for Fragile X are also likely to help people who have Alzheimer’s or other brain disorders.
This year’s festivities will be announced soon!
Below you can see activities and illuminations of the First Annual World Fragile X Day on July 22, 2021.
