“…Aberrant mRNA translation represents one of the major hallmarks of FXS and, therefore, a putative therapeutic target [2,14,119]. While therapies aimed at rescuing protein synthesis have provided successful results in mice [120], similar approaches have failed in clinical trials, highlighting the difficulties of translating data obtained in murine models to the clinic [4,5,43,44,66,121]. Several factors may explain these failures, including the lack of patient stratification, varying ages of the enrolled FXS subjects, and the validity of the outcome measures [4,43,66].…”
