Extractions: Location of gene ICD Q ICD OMIM ... MeSH Fragile X syndrome (FXS), or Martin-Bell syndrome , is a genetic syndrome which results in a spectrum of characteristic physical and intellectual limitations and emotional and behavioral features which range from severe to mild in manifestation. The syndrome is associated with the expansion of a single trinucleotide gene sequence (CGG) on the X chromosome , and results in a failure to express the protein coded by the gene, which is required for normal neural development. There are four generally accepted states of the chromosome region involved in Fragile X syndrome which relate to the length of the repeated CGG sequence; Normal (29-31 CGG repeats) (not affected by the syndrome), Premutation (55-200 CGG repeats)(not affected by the syndrome), Full Mutation (more than 200 CGG repeats)(affected), and Intermediate or Gray Zone Alleles (40 - 60 repeats). Martin and Bell in 1943, described a pedigree of X-linked mental disability, without considering the macroorchidism (larger testicles).

Extractions: Unlimited personal help Encyclopedia Index F fragile X syndrome Search fragile X syndrome Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited developmental delay. It is caused by a recessive gene mutation on the long arm of the X sex chromosome. Some degree of intellectual impairment is present in affected patients, ranging from mild to severe, but usually moderate. Most children with fragile X syndrome suffer from attention problems as well, and may have a variety of other problems including speech disorders, hand mannerisms and autistic behaviors, and emotional problems. Prevalence in males: 1 in 1,000 to 2,000. Many are learning disabled, others are retarded. About one in 260 women is a carrier. Of these, about 70% of girls carrying the mutation are apparently unaffected. The other 30% may show mild symptoms or may be mentally retarded. This syndrome should be at least considered in any case of unexplained developmental delay, especially in males. Of course, genetic counselling for the family, both immediate and extended, is crucial.

Related Editorial To complement the 2005 Annual Clinical Focus on medical genomics, AFP will be publishing a series of short reviews on genetic syndromes. This series was designed to increase awareness of these diseases so that family physicians can recognize and diagnose children with these disorders and understand the kind of care they might require in the future. The first review in this series discusses fragile X syndrome. Fragile X syndrome is caused by an expansion mutation in the Fragile X mental retardation 1 gene located on the X chromosome It characteristically leads to some degree of mental retardation. The phenotype is subtle, with minor dysmorphic features and developmental delay during childhood. Characteristic features during adolescence are an elongated face, prominent jaw, large ears, macro-orchidism, and a range of behavioral anomalies and cognitive deficits

Like most people in this country, we had never heard of this condition even though it had been affecting Umma and her family for many years. The goal of this website is to share our story and connect with other parents of children with Fragile X and, just maybe, spread the word about this disorder so we are no longer greeted with "fragile what?" anytime we discuss our son's challenges and special needs. 25 Things about life with Fragile X A guaranteed motivator.

http://www.fpg.unc.edu/~fx/Pages/autistic.htm

Extractions: Many young children with fragile X syndrome are referred for an autism evaluation before they are ever diagnosed with fragile X due to similar early behavioral symptoms in the two disorders. Based on findings from early work in the longitudinal study, we concluded that research on the early expression of autistic features in young boys with fragile X may help distinguish between this disorder and autism. Collaboration on a study began with Dr. Gary Mesibov, an expert on autism and director of Division TEACCH, a clinical center at UNC specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of persons with autism and communication disorders. Boys with FXS participating in the CFXP longitudinal study in 1996-1997 were rated for signs of autistic behavior using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) during a developmental assessment using the Battelle Developmental Inventory. A total of 57 ratings were completed on a sample of boys from 24 to 133 months of age.

http://mobile.scripps.org/articles/328-fragile-x-syndrome

Extractions: Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition involving changes in part of the X chromosome . It is the most common form of inherited mental retardation in males and a significant cause of mental retardation in females. Fragile X syndrome is caused by a change in the FMR1 gene. A small section of the gene code (three letters only CGG) is repeated on a fragile area of the X chromosome. The more repeats, the more likely there is to be a problem. Normally, the FMR1 gene makes a protein needed for your brain to grow properly. A defect in this gene makes your body produce too little of the protein, or none at all. Boys and girls can both be affected, but because boys have only one X chromosome, a single fragile X is likely to affect them more severely. You can have Fragile X syndrome even if your parents do not have it. Family members who have fewer repeats in the FMR1 gene may not have mental retardation, but may have other problems. Women with less severe changes may have premature

Extractions: About Site Map Contact Us Search A service of the Fragile X syndrome Genetic Conditions On this page: Reviewed May 2007 Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. Usually, males are more severely affected by this disorder than females. Males and females with fragile X syndrome may have anxiety and hyperactive behavior such as fidgeting, excessive physical movements, or impulsive actions. They may also have attention deficit disorder, which includes an impaired ability to maintain attention and difficulty focusing on specific tasks. About one-third of males with fragile X syndrome also have autism or autistic-like behavior that affects communication and social interaction. Seizures occur in about 15 percent of males and about 5 percent of females with fragile X syndrome. Many males with fragile X syndrome have characteristic physical features that become more apparent with age. These features include a long and narrow face, large ears, prominent jaw and forehead, unusually flexible fingers, and enlarged testicles (macroorchidism) after puberty.
