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.
