Yes - Fragile X syndrome: Diagnostic and carrier testing, originally written in 1994, revised in 2005. The Southern Blot with PCR Analysis, may also be known as the FMR1 DNA test, is 99% accurate. Chromosome and Microarray analysis cannot be used solely to test for fragile X, they are only accurate at detecting when there is a deletion of the gene which is rare, only about 1% of cases of FX are a result of deletion.

What causes disease fragile x?
The fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutation of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.Expansion of the CGG repeating codon to such a degree results in a methylation of that portion of the DNA, effectively silencing the expression of the FMR1 protein.Mutation of the FMR1 gene leads to the transcriptional silencing of the fragile X-mental retardation protein, FMRP.

Does fragile X get worse?
No, fragile x syndrome is not progressive
Is there a certain age for fragile x syndrome to occur?
Fragile X is a genetic abnormality which is inherited and individuals therefore have the condition from birth, although, depending on the severity of the symptoms it is often undetected until early childhood. The average age of diagnosis is 8 years old. If however, parents are known to be carriers of Fragile X, the child may be given a blood test early on which is used to diagnose fragile x.
