The FMR1 is responsible for making FMRP which is involved in brain development and other functions.]]> 2019-03-29 02:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346395306 Nicknames For Fragile X Syndrome christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346396615

    CVS is tested from cells in the placenta from 10 to 12 weeks in the pregnancy.
    Amniocentesis is tested by amniotic fluid from 15 to 18 weeks in the pregnancy.]]>     2019-03-29 02:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346399376     Symptoms christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346405143 Symptoms can include long face, large ears, anxiety, behavioral problems and speech impairments. More severe and uncommon symptoms could include seizures and scoliosis.]]> 2019-03-29 03:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346405143 Population Affected christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346405763 Fragile X can happen in both Males and Females. It occurs more in Males and the symptoms are worse with males. FXS is detected easily in young males but it could take years for a female to be diagnosed because of the less amount of symptoms. 1 in 4000 males are affected and 1 in 8000 females are affected. ]]> 2019-03-29 03:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346405763 Treatments christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346406941 Treatments can include therapy for learning disabilities/behavioral problems. And medications can act as a sedative, muscle relaxant, and to treat anxiety and mood disorders.]]> 2019-03-29 03:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346406941 Long Term Outlook christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346407778 People with FXS have a normal life expectancy. Individuals can be active be healthy throughout their whole life. Some individuals may experience minor/major seizures during their lifetime]]> 2019-03-29 03:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346407778 Research Development christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346409105 Fragile X Syndrome was first discovered in 1943. Research has come a long way since then. There are many long-term studies to see patterns in fragile x patients.]]> 2019-03-29 03:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346409105 Support Group christopher_benner https://padlet.com/christopher_benner/benzxfm26uh3/wish/346418344 If you are looking for a support group for FXS a great website to use is Fragilex.org is has locations all over the U.S. with a large community.
