This means that women with the premutation have an increased risk of having a child with fragile X syndrome. s80207 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340678251 2019-03-13 01:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340678251 s80207 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340679360 2019-03-13 01:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340679360 Fragile X syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females. s80207 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340679619 2019-03-13 01:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340679619 s80207 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340680323 2019-03-13 01:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/340680323 Fragile x is a genetic condition that affects the way you learn, it is usually males are more severely affected more than females . They normally start talking at age 2, males are affected only mild to moderate intellectually disabled while only one-third of females are intellectual disability, kids with fragile x syndrome also suffer of other stuff like anxiety,hyperactive behavior like fidgeting or impulsive actions.

The FMR1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called FMRP. This protein helps regulate the production of other proteins and plays a role in the development of synapses, which are specialized connections between nerve cells. s77232 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/360073314 2019-05-14 19:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/360073314 s80207 https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/360075920 2019-05-14 19:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s80207/8rtzfny3kv11/wish/360075920
