Fragile X syndrome

How is Fragile X Syndrome Inherited? Genes are a huge part of DNA that are passed from generation to generation. There are many genes on each chromosome; we have tens of thousands of genes that tell or bodies on how to develop. Genes are given letters to identify them. The gene responsible for fragile X syndrome is called FMR1. The FMR1 Gene is on the X chromosome. The FMR1 gene appears in four forms that are shown by the number of repeats of a pattern of DNA called CGG repeats. Individuals with

Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disability and is very common. The main characteristic is that children find it hard to process, understand information and work. You can identify fragile x syndrome is babies miss important developmental steps, or if their are noticeable physical traits like a different face or a big head circumference. This disability causes difficulty in learning, development and in their behaviour social/behavioural. It is more common in boys

000 males and 1 in 8,000 females are affected by Fragile X Syndrome(CDC)? Fragile X Syndrome affects does not only affect the young or the old but it will affect anyone of any age. Children who have Fragile X Syndrome can learn many different ways of communicating with others. Also there are many ways to help a Fragile X children become more socially active. There are many ways to help Fragile X Syndrome children to communicate. Fragile X Syndrome effects people of all ages from birth till death

The genetic mutation Fragile X syndrome is the most commonly inherited form of intellectual disability. Because the disease was first studied in 1943 by British physician James Purdon Martin and British human geneticist named Julia Bell, Fragile X is also referred to as Martin-Bell syndrome. Though it was not until 1969 that scientist Herbert Lubs discovered what exactly causes Fragile X syndrome. He explained that those who obtain the mutation will possess an X chromosome with an unusual gap

Retardation: Fragile X Syndrome In my previous paper, I wrote on the topic of the nature-nurture debate and the ways it related to the brain-equals-behavior dilemma. In this paper, I will continue this investigation into the link between genes and neurobiology, but I will focus in on a particular aspect of the relationship: neurological disease caused by genetic aberration. There are many well studied and well documented (thought not necessarily well understood) disorders associated with the X chromosome

The Fragile X Syndrome is a mutation in the gene Fragile X. This usually means that the X chromosome of the child appears to be pinched when looked at under a microscope (Akshoomoff, Pierce, & Courchesne, 2002). This simple pinched mutation causes the child to not develop how you would expect the chromosome to normally develop. Of course when something does not develop correctly there will be complications and issues. Researchers have noticed that many children with Fragile X Syndrome and autism

Fragile X Syndrome Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a disruption in the FMR1 gene and is the most recurrent inherited form of intellectual disability (Bagni, et al., 2012). It can cause a variety of mental effects ("Fragile X syndrome", 2017). For these reasons, Fragile X Syndrome has the chance of being a model of translational neuroscience (Jayaseelan, Tenenbaum, 2012). General Facts About Fragile X Syndrome Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder

Fragile X Syndrome There are many disabilities today. Some are named and some they are still researching, to find out what they are. I have chosen Fragile X Syndrome for my research paper. I chose this because, I feel that many people don’t know what it is. In my many years of teaching early childhood education, I have only came in contact with a child that has fragile X. There is no cure for fragile X, however with the right support he was able to function in a normal classroom. Fragile X Syndrome

Fragile X Syndrome, or FXS, is the most commonly inherited form of mental problems and disabilities globally. Fragile X is a genetic condition that causes a variety of physical, social, and intellectual disabilities. Affected children experience developmental setbacks such as taking longer to sit, walk, or talk in contrast to other of a similar age group. Affected people show certain symptoms, in childhood and as they grow into adults, and through adulthood. Behavioral and neurological symptoms

When one is affected with a serious, life-threatening disorder, they tend to feel helpless and ask “Why me?” Fragile X Syndrome is among these types of disorders. Fragile X syndrome causes many developmental problems and among them are cognitive impairment and learning disabilities. This disorder has been shown to be more prominent in males than females (Denman, 2012), and the victims experience a characteristic language and speech development. The disorder makes a majority of males experience between
