Just know that even if y'all test negative, your grandkids can come up Autistic, sadly. And it has to be from your Mom if your brother has it, you can't pass it Father to son, if the Dad is full mutation, it's not possible. My Mom tested negative, total shocker cuz my Dad was perfectly fine. He had big ears, flat feet etc... But he was smart, ran his business and had beef cattle, etc... Did 3 yrsin Army in Korea, went thru Barber School in the late 50s... And graduated top of his class.

My oldest brother was diagnosed with this when he was about 3 years old. He is and has been the central beacon of peace and true love in our family. He's so full of life and laughter, me and my family have always said he is so unconcerned with all the things that trouble us in life but his love and support of us is so true and so constant, he is a daily reminder for all of us to always be grateful for the things that matter most in life! ❤️

I am so sure my brother has it. He has been diagnosed to multiple neurological deseases and disturbs all his life (he is 15 now!) but none of those ever matched correctly to his symptoms. I just found out about the EXISTENCE of this desease about a year ago, and have been fighting with my mom to test him cuz he has every single symptom, including the face and body features. Finally last week i got the requirement from the doctor and drove him myself to make his test and i have been anxiously waiting for february 28th for his result!

That was an excellent explanation of the genetic disorder. Just one question. You mentioned that the mutation causes a failure to produce a particular protein. Is it possible to synthesize the protein and supply it to the patient to offset the deficiency or is it more complicated than that? You mentioned the research going into trying to cure the condition via genetic engineering methods, but you didn't comment on whether the protein can be synthesized.

as an autistic: trust me, neurotypicals (aka the "average ppl") are actually the weak ones with disabilies like low IQ, lack of empathy and other symptoms. neurodivergent folks are geniusses. don't trust researchers and better check out what the system does to us (there are many names, for example hans asperger, just check it out where this whole topic is rooted. humanity is sick...) I bet you'll understand as soon as you see the pattern. also check out temple gradin, she is brilliant, her mind full of facts. don't trust most ppl, their brains are TOTALLY different wired as well as the rest of our body. they won't and can't understand (because not smart + being manipulated by the psychopathic people of the system)

Does insurance cover that genetic testing Fragile X? I was diagnosed w/Ehlers Danlos but I was never tested for the marker- it was clinical as I had all of the symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’ve also been diagnosed with ADHD as a teen & Nonverbal Learning Disorder . Mild Ataxia, low muscle tone as well as Strabismus. From ages 18 months I had to wear orthotics & orthopedic shoes (hated those shoes) & had wear bifocals sun I was a toddler. Anxiety , depression, sensory processing disorder. What I understood is that Fragile X is the most common cause of Autism in the Ashkenazi community/ethnicity but not so much in the general population. So, I’m a bit confused Since I’m over the age 23, I don’t get any support. So, is there any benefit for me to get evaluated?
@FRAXA4 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question! Insurance coverage for Fragile X genetic testing varies, so it’s best to check with your provider. A genetic diagnosis, even as an adult, can offer valuable insights into managing symptoms like anxiety, ataxia, and sensory processing disorder. It may also help your healthcare team explore new treatment options. Consulting with a genetic counselor or your doctor could be a good next step.

This is concerning. Is there a special genetic test you have to get besides a normal baby screening at birth or a genetic test like at 23andMe? I'd like to know if my little one, who is 14 months old, could have it. Health issues that have been mentioned run in my family, but of course a lot of other things could cause these symptoms. Bring a mommy now just worries me since my baby was born 2 months early because he had to come out or we both could have died. I'm not sure if things I've noticed are other health issues or something like this mutation. Thank you for posting this and letting others know.
