Is fragile X syndrome a recessive disorder or a dominant disorder?
Cgleger
Yes. Fragile X is essentially the gene silencing of FMR1 protein, a protein important for the generation of certain nerve cells. When there is one copy with excess CpG repeats, the other chromosomal copy remains active.

Actually it is a X-linked dominant disorder
of course it is dominant due to the fart status
I agree with the above responder This is what I learned when I had a kid in my class that had this after I did research on it
Fragile X syndrome carriers include both mothers and fathers
Fathers X Y can only pass this condition to their daughters

The propensity for this condition to manifest itself increases with each successive
generation
