What´s Fragile X Syndrome?

Fragile X Syndrome, FXS, is a condition in the brain that makes difficulties in developing. Both genders can be affected but males seem to be more affected by it. On the X chromosome, a gene called FMR1 is mutated. The mutation on the FMR1 gene prevents the gene from creating protein. It can affect the way you learn or think. Processing problems, speaking, everyday things are different from an average person. Some symptoms that could occur is anxiety, hyperactive behavior or attention disorder.

Health care providers commonly use blood samples to see and to diagnose a person if they have FXS. Your blood is taken to then be observed for the disorder. There is no cure for it but people with FXS can make progress with having FXS by support, therapy, and education they can learn at their own pace. There is medication that may help and new medication to help is being discovered. There is no environmental factors that I know of when I researched.
Ages about 2-4 are diagnosed with FXS and 1 in 4,000 females have it and 1 in 8,000 males have the disorder. It is though a neutral disorder because it is livable and there is medication to take to help with
