Every year on July 22, FRAXA Research Foundation and partners celebrate World Fragile X Day with communities around the world.
Be part of the movement, help us shine a light on Fragile X!
World Fragile X Day celebrates families impacted by Fragile X and highlights advances 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. FRAXA launched World Fragile X Day in 2021.
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.
Join Us: Raise Fragile X Awareness
World Fragile X Day is for everyone. No event or activity is too small to help raise awareness. All are welcome to participate and join in the fun!
Fragile X Research Progress
What will effective treatments or a cure for Fragile X look like? It’s a question we all ask at some point. Will it be a pill taken every day for life? Will it be combinations of medicines, tailored to each individual? Will it be a protein replacement injection once a week? Will it be a one-time gene therapy infusion that fixes every cell in the body at the same instant?
The answer is probably all of the above. Effective treatments and a cure for Fragile X isn’t a pipe dream. It’s a process, and FRAXA Research Foundation is right in the thick of it.
