FMR1 (fragile X mental retardation 1) is a human gene that codes for a protein called fragile X mental retardation protein, or FMRP.
This protein, most commonly found in the brain, is essential for normal cognitive development and female reproductive function.
Mutations of this gene can lead to fragile X syndrome, intellectual disability, premature ovarian failure, autism, Parkinson's disease, developmental delays and other cognitive deficits.
 The FMR1 premutation is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes that affect more than two million people worldwide.
