caffeine and Fragile X Syndrome

caffeine has been researched along with Fragile X Syndrome in 3 studies

Fragile X Syndrome: A condition characterized genotypically by mutation of the distal end of the long arm of the X chromosome (at gene loci FRAXA or FRAXE) and phenotypically by cognitive impairment, hyperactivity, SEIZURES, language delay, and enlargement of the ears, head, and testes. INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY occurs in nearly all males and roughly 50% of females with the full mutation of FRAXA. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p226)

"Caffeine did not enhance the expression of the fra(X) in the PBLC or in the three LCL from fra(X) expressing individuals nor did it elicit fra(X) expression in LCL from a non-expressing obligate-carrier female and a transmitting male."1.27The effect of caffeine on fragile X expression.
