Fragile X, which is largely misdiagnosed, is the most common known cause of
autism and of mental impairment. Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh has a
center for the research and treatment of Fragile X Syndrome. Hagerman, who has more than 20 years of clinical work and research
experience, has focused on molecular clinical correlations and treatment
endeavors of this disorder. The ability to view the process of
fat accumulation in tissues with WETSEM(TM), provides an early
indication on the effectiveness of drugs in pre-clinical and clinical
trials.

QuantomiX technology, the only comprehensive solution for lipid
imaging and quantification, is expected to open new vistas in drug
development for metabolic syndrome and other hitherto unexplored
avenues of research.

edition of Fragile X Syndrome: Diagnosis, Treatment and Research, and
Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment, which covers a broad
array of disorders that impact cognitive development and behavior and
documents multidisciplinary interventions including medical,
psychopharmacological and educational treatments. This technology permits high resolution imaging, analysis,
and quantification of lipid bodies in cells and tissues (liver,
muscle, adipose tissue etc.) - a capability that can serve as an early
indication for the onset of metabolic disorders.

The 2005 funds helped pay for programs that will disseminate
information on Fragile X, Duchene and Becker Muscular Dystrophy and other
single gene disorders, set and publish uniform standards for genetic
counselors consulting with families impacted by FX, and refine and develop a
newborn screening test for FX.
