" THAT DISTINCT X."- FRAGILE X SYNDROME & PHYSICAL THERAPY - BY DR. VANDANA PATEL (PT)
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability (ID) and the most common genetic cause of autism. It is characterized by a broad spectrum of morphologic, cognitive, behavioral, and psychologic features. Fragile X is an inherited genetic condition, if a person finds out they have the premutation or full mutation; other family members may also be carriers and/or may have a Fragile X associated condition. There is also a risk of passing the Fragile X premutation or full mutation on to children. FRAGILE X SYNDROME = MARTIN BELL SYNDROME
