The Fragile X syndrome market has been comprehensively analyzed in this report titled "Fragile X Syndrome Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Fragile X syndrome refers to an X-linked genetic disorder that causes a variety of intellectual disabilities, such as learning problems and cognitive impairment. This condition is caused by variations in the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene, responsible for brain growth. Affected individuals typically have delayed speech and language development by the age of two. The disease is prominently characterized by an elongated face, flat feet, large or protruding ears, low muscle tone, larger testes, etc. In addition, patients suffering from Fragile X syndrome may experience hyperactivity, anxiety, seizures, a low intelligence quotient, aggression, irritation, sleep problems, etc. The other behavioral indications include atypical social development, memory deficits, stereotypic movements (e.g., hand flapping), limited eye contact, shyness, difficulty with face encoding, etc. This ailment is generally diagnosed by evaluating the patient's medical history and clinical presentation. The common investigations to identify the condition are genetic testing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and methylation status through southern blot analysis. Various other diagnostic tools may include physical and neurological exams, developmental assessments, and behavioral evaluations.

The rising prevalence of genetic disorders on account of DNA abnormalities, gene mutations, and chromosomal damage is primarily driving the Fragile X syndrome market. Furthermore, the expanding male population, who are prone to single X chromosome gene variations, is also augmenting the market growth. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of efficient drugs, such as benzodiazepines and atypical antipsychotic agents, to target irritability and aggression by causing sedation and reducing anxiety among patients is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the inflating application of prenatal diagnostic procedures, including amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, which identify the FMR1 gene mutation in the fetus and provide early diagnosis of the syndrome, is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the emerging popularity of speech-language and behavioral therapy, alongside pharmacological treatment, to support the management of the underlying condition is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. In addition to this, the increasing utilization of gene therapy for delivering a functional FMR1 gene into cells using a safe and modified adeno-associated viral vector to promote the synthesis of FMR protein is expected to drive the Fragile X syndrome market in the coming years.

• Recent Developments

In September 2023, Shionogi & Co., Ltd. reported that the United States FDA has granted Tetra Therapeutics Inc., a Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for zatolmilast (BPN14770), which is an experimental medication being evaluated for Fragile X syndrome.

In July 2023, Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. disclosed that it had expanded its existing licensing agreement with Neuren Pharmaceuticals for trofinetide to obtain ex-North American rights to the medicine as well as global rights in Fragile X syndrome to Neuren's research candidate NNZ-2591.

In May 2023, Allos Pharma Inc. revealed that it has met with the United States FDA to improve the design of its Phase 3 trial. This trial is intended to support a New Drug Application (NDA) for Fragile X Syndrome. Allos' investigational medication, arbaclofen, targets the molecular pathogenesis of Fragile X Syndrome and has shown significant efficacy in an FDA-approved Phase 3 trial.

In February 2023, KGK Science announced that it had secured an exemption under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, beginning with its partner Nova Mentis Life Science. According to the firm, this is the first Phase IIa clinical trial research to evaluate the efficacy of repeated, oral microdosing of psilocybin as a Fragile X syndrome treatment.

Key Highlights:
According to the CDC, around 46% of males and 16% of females with Fragile X syndrome also have autism.

Fragile X syndrome often affects males more than females.

According to research studies, around one in every 7,000 men and one in every 11,000 women have been diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome.

Individuals with Fragile X syndrome are more likely to develop seizures, with rates ranging from 10% to 40% reported in the literature.

Based on multiple prevalence studies, it is estimated that about one million Americans carry the Fragile X premutation.

Drugs:
Zatolmilast is an investigational medicine for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome. The drug is designed to act by altering a signaling molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP), which may enhance the maturation of connections between neurons that are deficient in individuals with Fragile X syndrome.

ZYN002 cannabidiol (CBD) gel is the first and only pharmaceutically manufactured CBD made as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced gel, and it is being tested on children with Fragile X Syndrome. ZYN002 is a transparent, permeation-enhanced gel intended to administer controlled drugs transdermally with once- or twice-daily dosing.

Acamprosate is an innovative, clinically discovered medication that functions as an NMDA receptor inhibitor and GABA receptor agonist. It is intended to treat the core social and communicative problems associated with Fragile X syndrome. The medicine aims to target vital capabilities, such as speech, thinking, social engagement, and self-care.
