I have a lot of physical features of someone with fragile x. Throughout middle school and high school, I was placed in advanced classes. Can someone with this disability have the capacity to be intelligent?

We thank you for your efforts. My son has Fragil X and has hyperactivity. He was not accepted at school. He is 7 years old. Is there an effective medicine?

Thanks for this informative video. One question please: If the mother that is the carrier gives birth to 3 male children. 1 of them has been diagnosed with the full X-Fragile mutation. The other 2 children haven’t developed any symptom. Those 2 now adults have children: girls and boys. Is there any chance that their kids (that have no symptoms) when they decide to have children, that their children could be affected by this syndrome? Sorry for my English. Thank You. Greetings from Brazil.

Hola, se que ha pasado mucho tiempo desde su comentario, pero el síndrome x frágil aumenta la expansión del cromosoma con cada generación, de modo que puede ser que ellos no tengan síntomas y si tienen premiación sus hijos si tengan el síndrome completo, por lo que lo mejor es realizar la prueba a toda la familia sobre todo si están en edad reproductiva. Así fue la situación en mi familia y ya teníamos 4 afectados. Saludos desde México

@@vpnelyvz719 Hola. Muchas Gracias por toda la información y siento de verdad que tu familia también haya sido afectada por el X-Frágil. Realmente mi mayor deseo en este mundo es que un día encuentren la cura o por lo menos una medicación que pueda minimizar los efectos del X-Frágil. Mucho ánimo y te lo agradezco de corazón. Te envío un abrazo desde Brasil. Saludos cordiales.
