How possible is it that a cure will be found?

Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder that has not been thoroughly researched for a long time. In 1991, the discovery of why Fragile X occurred was found. (To learn more about this discovery read the post titled "How does a person inherit this genetic disorder? Is it dominant or recessive? Is it genetic or chromosomal?"). In light of this, one can see that the disorder is a relatively new discovery. So far, most doctors have prescribed medications to people with Fragile X that treat the symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome. These medications have mixed results. Even with the patients who react well to the medication, they still show significant signs of the disorder. There is a field of study that focuses just on the Fragile X Syndrome. For the most part, this research has been unsuccessful. Although it has not worked so far, there is potential in the research of a cure for Fragile X Syndrome.
