The disease is caused when the FMR1 gene expands or lengthens on the X chromosome, causing a mutation which then switches off production of a protein, that is involved in brain development and other functions.   ]]> 2018-03-26 15:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/246145785 How is the disease inherited? josullivan19 https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/246146396 It is passed down from a parent to child, through their X gene.]]> 2018-03-26 15:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/246146396 Populations with Predispositions josullivan19 https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/246147486 It affects about 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females and occurs in all racial and ethnic groups. ]]> 2018-03-26 15:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/246147486 Work cited in MLA Format josullivan19 https://padlet.com/josullivan19/uu8lxyx3dr5j/wish/247050588 “FXS.” National Fragile X Foundation, fragilex.org/learn/.
