Is fragile X syndrome related to klinefelster?
No, Klinefelter is due to an extra chromosome, Fragile X is due to the FMR1 gene being turned off and producing no FMR1 protein
Are there any famous people with fragile x syndrome?
No.
I don't believe the answer can be No ... with 1 in 1,000 girls affected that's maybe 10,000 to 20,000 in the UK .. so if you take a sample 10,000 to 20,000 females then at least one or two of those would be famous in some way maybe more .. and as I am interested in establishing a UK charity and support group for Triple X, I would like to know who these celebs are so I can persuade one of them to be a key figure in this charity and support group.
Any help appreciated :-)
How do you get a skunk out of your chimney if you can smell it but can't see it?
Hmm, skunks aren't climbing animals, so chances are, it's most likely a dead bird. You'll have to call a chimeny cleaner because lighting the fireplace in this situation has a chance of causing a fire on the roof.
Is fragile X syndrome a recessive disorder or a dominant disorder?
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.
