We talk with Dr. Elizabeth Jonas, Professor of Internal Medicine and Neurology at Yale School of Medicine, about her new research suggesting that leaky mitochondria cause some symptoms of Fragile X syndrome. Leaky membranes may also be involved in Parkinson’s Disease and other diseases.
This study was highlighted in a YaleNews article and published in the journal Cell. FRAXA funded the early stages of this work in 2013-2014.
