This genetic disease is more severe in males than females. If a baby has this, by the age of 2, the baby will start to have a delay of speech and language.
This inherited condition is characterized by the X chromosome. This Disorder usually leaves the victim mentally handicapped.]]> 2018-03-25 23:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245896427 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245900943 Fragile X Syndrome is caused by the mutations in the FMR1 gene that provides instructions in making protein called FMRP. This protein helps the production of other proteins. This also plays a role is the development of synapses. This mutation is also caused in the DNA segment of live. The DNA triplet CGG is extended from normally repeated 5-40 times to over 200 times in a victim. This action basically turns off the FMR1 gene which makes the victim produce less of the FMRP which disrupts the nervous system causing effects of the disorder.]]> 2018-03-25 23:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245900943 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245901940 Synapses is the connection between nerve cells which is crucial for nerve impulses. This is very important because this is the reaction timer. When something happens, the timer will go off to alert the brain what happened. Without synapses, you will have very late reaction times or maybe no reactions at all]]> 2018-03-25 23:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245901940 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245902659 Fragile X Syndrome impaired speech and language. Followed by learning disabilities, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) Anxiety, hyperactivity, fidgeting with things, impulsive actions, possibly autism and about 15% of males suffer from seizures and about 5% of females suffer seizures. The physical problems caused by the disease are a long and narrow face, large ears, flat feet, prominent jaw and forehead and flexible fingers]]> 2018-03-25 23:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245902659 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245904379 There is no cure for the disease but victims take medications such as sedative which keeps them calm and drowsy. Muscle relaxant which reduces muscle tension and other vitamins. Patients of this disorder have to go through therapies such as behavior therapy that reduces the stress. ]]> 2018-03-26 00:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245904379 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245904975 https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/fragile-x-syndrome#genes]]> 2018-03-26 00:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245904975 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905052 https://www.verywell.com/what-is-a-synapse-2795867 ]]> 2018-03-26 00:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905052 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905112 2018-03-26 00:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905112 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905280 2018-03-26 00:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905280 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905399 2018-03-26 00:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905399 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905838 2018-03-26 00:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905838 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905955 2018-03-26 00:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245905955 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245906272 2018-03-26 00:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245906272 mylesdhurley https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245906392 2018-03-26 00:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mylesdhurley/adtspnxicso5/wish/245906392
