See, the CDC cares about autism after all -- at least if it comes

nowhere near the issue of dirty vaccines. - Lenny

Willowbrook Institute Gets Large Grant From CDC

The Institute for Basic Research in Willowbrook has received a

large grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The $1.6 million grant will be used to conduct research on

Fragile X Syndrome over the next three years.

People with Fragile X Syndrome have a single mutation in the

Fragile X gene, which is located on the X chromosome. The mutation,

which is usually inherited from the mother, causes moderate to severe

mental retardation.

" This disease is, in some ways, a model for understanding

Autism, as well, " said Dr. Ted Brown of IBR. " Which is quite a bit

more common than Fragile X. "

Nearly 4,000 males in New York State have Fragile X Syndrome.

IBR also hopes to work more closely with the 13 other clinics

throughout the country that also study the syndrome.
