DESCRIPTION:
ABOUT FRAGILE X AWARENESS MONTH
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges, and various physical characteristics. It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism. Causes of Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome begins with a mutation in the FMR1 gene located on the X chromosome. This gene produces a protein called FMRP, essential for normal neural development. In individuals with FXS, a section of the FMR1 gene called the CGG triplet repeat is expanded. Symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome
The symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome can vary widely among individuals, but common signs include: Intellectual and Developmental Delays
Physical Characteristics:
Sensory Sensitivities:
Sensitivity to light, sounds, textures, and other sensory inputsPrevalence of Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome affects both males and females, though males are typically more severely affected due to having only one X chromosome.
In Males: Approximately 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 7,000.
In Females: Approximately 1 in 8,000 to 1 in 11,000.
The variability in these estimates is due to differences in study methodologies and population sampling. Summary
Fragile X Syndrome is a significant genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene. It leads to a range of cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms. It is relatively rare, affecting a small percentage of the population, with males being more severely affected than females. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with FXS.
