Extractions: Location of gene ICD Q ICD OMIM ... MeSH Fragile X syndrome , or Martin-Bell syndrome , is a syndrome of X-linked mental retardation . Boys with the syndrome may have large testicles ( macroorchidism prognathism hypotonia and autism , and a characteristic but variable face with large ears, long face, high-arched palate gynecomastia , and malocclusion . Additional abnormalities may include lordosis , heart defect, pectus excavatum flat feet , shortening of the tubular bones of the hands, and joint laxity. Females who have one fragile chromosome and one normal X chromosome may range from normal to mild manifestations of the fragile X syndrome. The fragile X syndrome has an estimated incidence of 1 in 3600 males and 1 in 4,000â6,000 females. Martin and Bell in 1943, described a pedigree of X-linked mental disability, without considering the macroorchidism. In 1969 Chris and Weesam first sighted an unusual "marker X chromosome" in association with mental disability. In 1970 Frederick Hecht coined the term "fragile site" (Renpenning's syndrome is not synonymous with the syndrome). In Renpennig's syndrome there is no fragile site on the X chromosome. Renpenning's cases had short stature, moderate microcephaly, and neurological disorders.

The journey to a diagnosis began when Doctor #1 suggested Henry might have Parkinson's because of his stiffness and falling; she did several tests and then just never returned our calls because she clearly didn't know what to say. Doctor #2 gave Henry two Parkinson's drugs, but they had no effect; his next guess was that Henry had some small

Extractions: A normal human X chromosome (left) contrasted with a fragile X chromosome (right), which is prone to breakage in culture. The syndrome is associated with excessive repeats of the trinucleotide sequence CGG in the gene, which inactivates this gene. The gene codes for an RNA-binding protein; absence of this protein presumably affects brain development.

Health education Last Update: 09/07/2006 Printer Friendly Email This Page Fragile X Syndrome What is Fragile X syndrome? Fragile X syndrome is the most common form of inherited mental retardation. Fragile X happens when there is a change, or mutation, in a single gene called the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. This gene normally makes a protein the body needs for the brain to develop. But when there is a change in this gene, the body makes only a little bit or none of the protein, which can cause the symptoms of Fragile X. Fragile X is inherited, which means it is passed down from parents to children. Parents can have children with Fragile X even if the parents do not have Fragile X themselves. The changes in the gene can become more serious when passed from parent to child. Some people may only have a small change in their FMR1 gene (called a premutation ) and may not show any signs of Fragile X. Other people may have bigger changes in the gene, called a

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Fragile X syndrome is the second most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation, after Down's syndrome . The disorder is one of a group of diseases that results from an unusual kind of mutation: an expansion of a repeating sequence of three letters of the DNA code, called a triplet repeat or trinucleotide repeat In Fragile X, the repeating triplet is CGG, cytosine-guanine-guanine, in a gene called FMR1 on the X chromosome. There are ordinarily fewer than 55 copies of the repeat. When the number of repeats exceeds 200, the expansion is called a "full mutation" and expression of the FMR1 gene is shut off, causing the fragile X syndrome. Individuals who carry between 55 and 200 copies of the repeat, called a "premutation", may transmit a gene with a full mutation (>200 repeats) to their children, but are generally not affected by the full-blown fragile X syndrome themselves. Carriers of premutations may have difficulties with mild cognitive or behavioral problems, premature ovarian failure in female carriers,and an adult-onset neurological disorder causing tremor and difficulties with balance and gait. http://www.genome.gov/glossary.cfm?key=Fragile%20X%20syndrome

http://www.glasglow.com/e2/fr/Fragile_X_syndrome.html

Extractions: Contents Fragile X Syndrome is the most common cause of mental retardation , affecting approximately 1 in 1500 males and 1 in 3000 females (figures given vary; these are approximations). It is caused by a mutation of a region of the X chromosome , and specifically, an excessively large number of repetitions of a specific gene on that chromosome. Because men receive only one copy of the X chromosome, most (all?) males with the mutation exhibit at least some symptoms of the syndrome, while only approximately 30 percent of females will exhibit significant symptoms, with the rest being carriers of the mutation. Aside from mental retardation, the most obvious indicators include physical differences and behaviors commonly associated with autism . Of the former, the most readily visible are an elongated face and large or protruding ears, but others are also frequently present. Of the latter, behavioral stereotypy and atypical social development are the most frequently observed. Because the underlying cause is genetic, there is no cure. The syndrome can be treated through behavioral therapy, special education, and where necessary, treatment of physical abnormalities. Persons with Fragile X in their family histories are advised to seek genetic counseling to assess the likelihood of having children who are affected, and how severe any impairments may be in affected descendants.

These deficits include those concerning social interaction and pragmatics, semantic and syntactic delays and phonological deficits. The research among these deficit areas is difficult to decipher because the data across age groups tends to differ within categories. For instance, adolescent and adult males may have intelligible single word speech and poor conversational speech, but still have preservation within single words. Another piece of data that also illustrates this inconsistency amongst data is that adult males with FXS tend to have a smaller range of grammatical construction whereas children who do not have FXS and are normally developing and perform at the same mental age children younger than 8 with FXS.
