International Family Support Network & Clinics

Fragile X respects neither national nor ethnic boundaries. The National Fragile X Foundation is committed to spreading the word about Fragile X-associated Disorders and to seeing that all people, in all countries, benefit from the best available treatments. Since 1984 we have taken the lead in fostering worldwide Fragile X communication. Part of that commitment has been to maintain a listing of parent support persons and groups throughout the world. Beginning in 2010 we added international affiliates to the Fragile X Clinical & Research Consortium. Following is, to the best of our knowledge,* a comprehensive list of international groups and clinics.

* If you have new or updated information for this list, please contact Robert Miller at the NFXF.
