Currently there is currently no cure for fragile X syndrome. But many therapies can help the affected individuals develop proper social skills and calm any social anxiety. Typically with therapy FXS patients are very friendly and kind.

Intellectual disabilities, ranging from mild to severe, attention deficit and hyperactivity, anxiety and unstable mood, autistic behaviors, such as hand-flapping and lack of eye contact, seizures (epilepsy) affect about 25% of people with Fragile X syndrome. FXS can also cause large ears, long face, soft skin and other problems may include ear infections, flat feet, high arched palate, double-jointed fingers and hyper-flexible joints.

A simple DNA blood test for fragile X syndrome is widely available and very accurate. This test can detect carriers and fully affected individuals. Any doctor can order the test. Unlike many genetic diseases, it may not be apparent that a person has fragile X.

The FMR1 gene appears in four forms that are defined by the number of repeats of a pattern of DNA called CGG repeats. Individuals with over 200 CGG repeats have a full mutation of the FMR1 gene, which causes fragile X syndrome. Fragile X Syndrome is a X-Linked recessive trait.
