Description:Electrophysiological alterations may represent a neural substrate of impaired neurocognitive processes and other phenotypic features in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). However, the role of biological sex in electroencephalography (EEG) patterns that differentiate FXS from typical development has not been determined. This limits use of EEG in both the search for biomarkers of impairment in FXS as well as application of those markers to enhance our understanding of underlying neural mechanisms to speed treatment discovery. We investigated topographical relative EEG power in participants at rest in a sample of males and females with FXS and in age- and sex-matched typically developing controls (TDC) using a cluster-based analysis. While alterations in theta and low beta power were similar across males and females in FXS, relative power varied by sex in the alpha, upper beta, gamma, and epsilon frequency bands. Follow up analyses showed that Individual Alpha Peak Frequency (IAPF), a continuous variable that may capture atypicalities across the theta and alpha ranges in neurodevelopmental disorders, also varied by sex. Finally, performance on an auditory filtering task correlated with theta power in males, but not females with FXS. The impact of biological sex on resting state EEG power differences in FXS is discussed as it relates to potential GABAergic and glutamatergic etiologies of neurocognitive deficits in FXS.
