title: Fragile X syndrome: neuropathology center.
abstract: There is an acute need for additional neuropathological information in the fra(X) or Martin-Bell syndrome. We propose a centralized fra(X) neuropathological research center to promote research and understanding of the underlying neuropathologic changes. Brain specimens can be sent to our center for neuropathological analysis. Reports will be sent to the contributing health professionals. Clinicians and relatives are encouraged to request autopsies and to contact the Center regarding brain donations for purposes of research and understanding.
