Description
The Fragile X test is a genetic analysis designed to detect mutations in the FMR1 gene, which is associated with Fragile X syndrome. This syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. The test involves DNA analysis to identify the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. Results help in diagnosing Fragile X syndrome, assessing carrier status, and providing genetic counseling for families. Early detection can lead to better management and support for affected individuals.
