WHAT DOES FRAGILE-X SYNDROME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fragile X syndrome

Fragile X syndrome, also known as Martin–Bell syndrome, or Escalante's syndrome, is a genetic syndrome that is the most widespread single-gene cause of autism and inherited cause of intellectual disability especially among boys. It results in a spectrum of intellectual disabilities ranging from mild to severe as well as physical characteristics such as an elongated face, large or protruding ears, and large testes, and behavioral characteristics such as stereotypic movements, and social anxiety. Fragile X syndrome is associated with the expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeat affecting the Fragile X mental retardation 1 gene on the X chromosome, resulting in a failure to express the fragile X mental retardation protein, which is required for normal neural development. Depending on the length of the CGG repeat, an allele may be classified as normal, a premutation, or full mutation. A definitive diagnosis of fragile X syndrome is made through genetic testing to determine the number of CGG repeats. Testing for premutation carriers can also be carried out to allow for genetic counseling.
