Research

The Denver Fragile X Clinics encompass a growing network of Colorado-based researchers and clinicians dedicated to the study and treatment of disorders associated with the fragile X gene. Based at the University of Colorado Anschutz (UCA) campus, the network includes faculty from the UC School of Medicine, clinicians from Children’s Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, Colorado, and professionals from Developmental FX, a community-based non-profit organization providing clinical services to individuals with fragile X syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

The Denver-based Fragile X network 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, and research recruitment, and building a nationwide network for collaborative research efforts.
