AbstractFragile X syndrome, the most common genetic disorder associated with mental retardation is caused by an expansion of the unstable CGG repeat within the FMR1 gene. Although overgrowth is not the main hallmark of this condition, the fragile X syndrome is usually included in the differential diagnosis of children with mental retardation and excess

AbstractIn search of an animal model for the human fragile X syndrome, the chromosomes of Holstein cows were examined. This breed was chosen because of previous studies on the baldy calf syndrome. An achromatic gap was observed at a specific site on the X chromosome closer to the centromere than that identified in humans.

To review the recent literature on fragile X and the genotypic and phenotypic implications on human reproduction.Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism. The fully expanded form of the mutation leads to mental retardation and autism, whereas the premutation can lead to a ...

Journal of Pediatric Health Care, 1989
Fragile X syndrome is one of the most intriguing genetic conditions now being studied. As the most common inherited form of mental retardation, it has an incidence of approximately 1 in 1000 male infants and boys. Because the cytogenetic diagnosis has only recently been available, many affected boys and female carriers have not yet been identified ...

Fragile X syndrome is a leading cause of mental retardation worldwide, with an incidence of approximately one case in 2000 live births. It is amongst the most common of human genetic diseases, and was the first to be associated with an unstable trinucleotide (CGG) repeat sequence.

Pediatrics, 2009
Despite earlier awareness of the need for pediatricians to recognize and diagnose developmental delay, the average age at diagnosis of fragile X syndrome (FXS) according to a study by Bailey et al,1 published in this issue of Pediatrics , has remained unchanged at 35 to 37 months of age.

Fragile X syndrome, the Fragile X related proteins, and animal models
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2002AbstractThe Fragile X syndrome (FraX), which is characterized among other physical and neurologic impairments by mental retardation, is caused by the absence of the product of the FMR1 gene. The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) is a member of a novel family of RNA‐binding proteins.

Population screening for fragile X
The Lancet, 1992A screening programme to detect fragile X syndrome has been operating in New South Wales, Australia, since 1984. The aim of this programme is to find previously unidentified individuals with the syndrome so that their extended families can be properly informed of the risks before making decisions about childbearing.

[Fragile X chromosomes and fragile X syndrome].
Ugeskrift for laeger, 2006A case story is presented of a child diagnosed by chromosome analysis to be carrier of the fragile X chromosome at a low frequency in cultured lymphocytes. DNA analysis of the FMR1 gene at a later date did not reveal expansion of the FMR1 repeat, thereby refuting the diagnosis of fragile X syndrome.

Hyperactivity and the Fragile X Syndrome
Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1991Workers who have claimed an association between Fragile X [fra(x)] Syndrome and Hyperactivity and aggressive behavior have done so despite the lack of controlled studies using standard diagnostic criteria. Accordingly, we provided a controlled test of the hypothesis that individuals with the fra(x) Syndrome are more hyperactive and have more symptoms ...
