The following is a copy of a request we have received from the M.I.N.D. Institute.
M.I.N.D. stands for Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Study Focused on Men with the Fragile X Premutation
We are searching for men with the fragile X premutation between the ages of 18 and 45 to participate in research examining the effect of genes and brain function on cognition and emotion. When available, we may also invite brothers of these men to participate. For men who have not yet been tested, FMR1 DNA testing is completed to help determine eligibility for the study.
Participants are asked to complete the following:
- Have pictures of the brain taken while doing different tasks
- Testing of thinking and memory skills
- Provide samples of blood and saliva
- Interviews and questionnaires
- Brief medical exam
- Total time commitment is two days
We will provide $100 to compensate each participant, and travel to U.C. Davis in Sacramento, CA and lodging is covered.
Please contact us if you or someone you know might be interested in participating, or for more detailed information:
