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.
