Does fragile X get worse?
No, fragile x syndrome is not progressive
What cause fragile X syndrome?
The fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutation of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.
What is the karyotype for fragile X?
The karyotype for fragile X syndrome typically shows a normal chromosomal structure, but it is characterized by a mutation in the FMR1 gene located on the X chromosome. This mutation involves the expansion of CGG repeats, often exceeding 200 repeats, leading to a fragile site on the X chromosome that can appear as a constriction or gap during chromosomal analysis. The presence of this fragile site is associated with the developmental and cognitive features of fragile X syndrome.
What is the scientific name for Fragile x syndrome?
Martin Bell Syndrome.
What is the life expectancy of a person with fragile x syndrome?
Early diagnosis and intensive intervention offer the best prognosis for individuals with fragile X syndrome. Adults with fragile X syndrome may benefit from vocational training and may need to live in a supervised setting. Life span is typically normal
By what other names is fragile X syndrome known?
also known as Martin-Bell syndrome, Marker X syndrome, and FRAXA syndrome
Who was the founder of fragile x syndrome?
Martin bell
How many people have fragile x syndrome?
4
Can a non repeat mother with out fragile x syndrome pass it to her male offspring?
A non-repeat mother without fragile X syndrome cannot pass the condition to her male offspring. Fragile X syndrome is caused by mutations in the FMR1 gene, specifically the expansion of CGG repeats, which typically occurs in carriers with a certain number of repeats. Since the mother does not have the syndrome or carry the premutation, her male offspring would not inherit the genetic mutation associated with fragile X syndrome.
Why chromosomal analysis is needed for bone marrow and fragile X-syndrome determination?
"Chromosomal analysis" should not be used for Fragile X Syndrome determination. Chromosomal analysis, Karotyping, has proven unreiable in diagnosis. Detemination can be made through DNA testing for Fragile X Syndrome, FMR1 DNA test.
What ethnic group is more likely to get Fragile X syndrome?
affects males and females of all ethnic groups. It is estimated that there are about one in 4,000 to one in 6,250 males affected with fragile X syndrome. There are approximately one-half as many females with fragile X syndrome as there are males
Is fragile-x-syndrome due to heredity or is it a mutation?
mutation
