fragile X syndrome n. An inherited disorder caused by a defective gene on the X chromosome and marked by intellectual disability, developmental disorders, enlarged testes, and facial abnormalities in males and by mild or no effects in heterozygous females. ...
Fragile X syndrome can also lead to learning and developmental conditions, such as intellectual disability, ADHD, aggression, and autism. Fragile X Syndrome in Adults Many adults with fragile X syndrome require a high level of support in adulthood. About a third of women with fragile X can live...

Understanding male fXPCs is of particular significance because of their increased risk of developing fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Methods Male fXPCs (n = 18) and healthy control (HC) adults (n = 26) aged less than 45 years performed two psychomotor speed tasks (manual...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by an expanded CGG repeat (> 200 repeats) in the 5' untranslated portion of the fragile mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1), leading to deficiency or absence of the FMR1 protein (FMRP). FMRP is an RNA carrier protein th
