Is considered X-Linked if the mutated gene is located on the X-Chromosome. The inheritance is dominant if one copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient enough to cause the condition.]]> 2018-03-22 12:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/244946168 Prevention or Control of Fragile-X: tkaempf19 https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/244947267 Fragile-X is a genetic disease, therefore it can not be prevented. However, even though it can not be prevented, it can be controlled by having families have genetic test done to see if their was any cases of family members having the disease making them aware and prepared for the future.]]> 2018-03-22 12:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/244947267 Pictures: tkaempf19 https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/244951425

I hope you were able to take something out of this padlet with you. I hope that each person in my audience whether you be a parent of someone with the disease or a student learn the importance of what fragile X syndrome is and how it effects people.]]> 2018-03-23 15:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/245532734 Fragile X Syndrome Inheritance: tkaempf19 https://padlet.com/tkaempf19/ft6gafmhse5i/wish/246113914
    When a mother is a carrier of the fragile X chromosome, each child has a 50% chance of inheritance.

    Since girls have 2 X Chromosomes, they are less severely affected as boys are.
