Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and can affect both males and females, though males typically experience more severe symptoms. Individuals with this syndrome may have developmental delays, learning disabilities, and social challenges.
Symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome can also include physical features such as a long face, large ears, and flexible joints. Behavioral issues like anxiety, hyperactivity, and autism spectrum traits are common. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
