The learning can range from mild to severe. The behavioral disability causes the individual to be more shy, and easily aggravated/angered. The sensory impairment includes loud noises, bright lights, and the texture of certain things; these will bother the individual. ]]> 2018-03-22 13:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/244975391 jasunnguyen https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/246890338 2018-03-28 13:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/246890338 jasunnguyen https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/247116662 There is no known cure for Fragile X Syndrome, but several things can be done to help treat the effects. Good education can sometimes help an individual overcome the learning disabilities.

A condition is considered X-linked if the mutated gene that causes the disorder is located on the X chromosome. The inheritance is dominant if one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. X-linked dominant means that in females, a mutation in one of the two copies of a gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In males a mutation in the only copy of a gene in each cell causes the disorder. In most cases, males experience more severe symptoms of the disorder than females]]> 2018-03-29 01:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/247120409 jasunnguyen https://padlet.com/jasunnguyen/ca6vcjt7jypn/wish/247120767 1 in 4000 males obtain the disease, and 1 in 8000 females obtain the disease.
