Participants Needed for FMR1 Premutation Carrier Study
The BRAIN Lab is seeking individuals aged 45-80 years for our studies of behavioral and brain changes during aging in healthy individuals and individuals with premutations of the Fragile X gene, FMR1. Both individuals with and without the premutation are eligible to participate.
- Volunteers will complete a blood draw, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test, and tests of motor skills and thinking abilities. Our MRI tests look at brain structure and brain function and are non-invasive and do not involve any radiation.
- Testing will involve 2-3 visits to our labs at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, and at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. These visits will last 2-4 hours depending on availability.
- Volunteers will be compensated for their time. Travel reimbursement may be available.
