the gene name for XB-GENEPAGE-977112 changed from fragile X mental retardation 1 to FMRP translational regulator 1.
This follows a request to the NCBI to remove 'retardation' or any 'R' referencing retardation be removed from FMRP and any other terminology linked to fragile x in the gene database(s) as this is outdated and offensive terminology.
See: "The Use of “Retardation” in FRAXA, FMRP, FMR1 and Other Designations" : [1]. This article is written on behalf of 17 fragile x family associations calling for the removal of 'retardation' as discriminatory and stigmatic.
