What is "fragile X syndrome"?

Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems, including learning and intellectual disabilities. It is caused by changes in the FMR1 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein important for brain development. Fragile X syndrome is typically characterized by delayed speech and language development, social and behavioral challenges, and certain physical features such as a long face and large ears. In addition to mental and behavioral symptoms, some individuals with fragile X syndrome may also experience sensory sensitivities and medical issues. Treatment for fragile X syndrome focuses on managing symptoms and providing support through educational programs, behavioral therapies, medications, and other supportive services.
