In vivo imaging of mGlu5 receptor expression in humans with Fragile X Syndrome towards development of a potential biomarker

Abstract Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by silencing of the Fragile X Mental Retardation (FMR1) gene. The resulting loss of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) leads to excessive glutamate signaling via metabotropic glutamate subtype 5 receptors (mGluR5) whi...
