Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)- Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast-2028

DelveInsight’s ‘Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)- Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast-2028’ report deliver an in-depth understanding of the disease, historical & forecasted epidemiology as well as the market trends of Fragile X Syndrome in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the United Kingdom), and Japan. The Report provides the current treatment practices, emerging drugs, market share of the individual therapies, the current and forecasted market size of Fragile X Syndrome from 2017 to 2028 segmented by seven major markets.
Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disease due to a CGG trinucleotide expansion, called as full mutation (greater than 200 CGG repeats), in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene locus Xq27.3. This leads to a hyper-methylated region in the gene promoter therefore silencing it and lowering the expression levels of the fragile X mental retardation 1, a protein involved in synaptic plasticity and maturation. It is considered as the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability.
Individuals with Fragile X Syndrome are present with intellectual disability, autism, hyperactivity, long face, large or prominent ears, and macroorchidism at puberty and thereafter. Most of the young children with Fragile X Syndrome will present with language delay, sensory hyperarousal and anxiety.
Geography Covered
• The United States
• EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom)
• Japan
Study Period: 2017–2028
Fragile X Syndrome - Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Fragile X Syndrome causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges and various physical characteristics. Though Fragile X Syndrome occurs in both genders, males are more frequently affected than females, and generally with greater severity. Life expectancy is not affected in people with Fragile X Syndrome because there are usually no life-threatening health concerns associated with the condition.
As one of the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability, Fragile X Syndrome occurs in 1 in every 4000 males and 1 in every 8000 females. The average age of male Fragile X Syndrome diagnosis is 35-37 months and females Fragile X Syndrome diagnosis is 42 months.
Fragile X Syndrome Epidemiology
The Fragile X Syndrome epidemiology division provides insights about historical and current patient pool and forecasted trend for every 7 major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders (KOL).
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology (Total Diagnosed Prevalence of Fragile X Syndrome in 7MM, Gender-Specific Prevalence of Fragile X Syndrome in 7MM, and Age-Specific Prevalence of Fragile X Syndrome), scenario of Fragile X Syndrome in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, Spain, Italy, France and United Kingdom) and Japan from 2017–2028.
According to DelveInsight, the total prevalent cases of Fragile X Syndrome in the 7MM was found to be 117,962 in 2017. The diagnosed prevalence of Fragile X Syndrome in the 7MM is expected to increase during the study period of 2017-2028 due to increase in the awareness of the condition.
Fragile X Syndrome Drug Chapters
This segment of the Fragile X Syndrome report encloses the detailed analysis of marketed drugs and late stage (Phase-III and Phase-II) pipeline drugs. It also helps to understand the clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug and the latest news and press releases.
In the absence of any approved therapy for the treatment for Fragile X Syndrome, the current market size of Fragile X Syndrome is mainly dependent on various specialized therapies, such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and drug therapies. The most frequently prescribed therapeutic drug classes are psychotropic drugs, such as antidepressants, stimulants, tranquilizers, and antipsychotics, that are often used to treat disorders such as hyperactivity, anxiety, and inattention.
Interventional services, like speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, special education services, and behavior management are commonly utilized to address specific behaviors and developmental issues, and comorbid conditions, such as ASD, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizures, and others.
Antipsychotic drugs generally are helpful in clinical settings to target irritability, aggression, mood instability, and perseverative behaviors in both male individuals and female individuals with Fragile X Syndrome. Risperidone is the most frequently used antipsychotic drug in the past and was effective clinically, with high response rates for aggressive behavior in older male individuals with Fragile X Syndrome and other irritable, aberrant, and undesired behaviors in young boys with Fragile X Syndrome and autistic traits. Aripiprazole is the second most frequently used atypical antipsychotic agent used in Fragile X Syndrome, with the highest overall response rate for an individual-antipsychotic and the lowest concern about weight gain.
However, these pharmacologic treatments target only the behavioral symptoms and not the cognitive/language impairments or the underlying brain deficits.
Several companies are working robustly on many new therapies, such as BPN14770 (Tetra Therapeutics), Cannabidiol (Zynerba Pharmaceuticals), OV101 (Ovid Therapeutics), Acamprosate (Confluence Pharmaceuticals), and Trofinetide (Neuren Pharmaceuticals) and others. These all are anticipated to enter the Fragile X Syndrome market by 2028.
