Differentiating Fragile X syndrome from other Diseases
Fragile X syndrome must be differentiated from Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Fragile XE syndrome (FRAXE), Klinefelter syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Risk Factors
There are no established risk factors for Fragile X syndrome. However, the child with family history of Fragile x Syndrome, autism disorder of unknown cause, developmental delay, adult onset ataxia/tremor or any intellectual disabilities are at greater risk of developing the disorder. [2]
Screening
Genetic counseling and prenatal screening is recommended when one of the parents is shown to be a carrier of fragile X. Prenatal testing can be done by amniocentesis at 16-20 weeks or by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 10-13 weeks to determine if a fetus has inherited the fragile X gene. [3]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome is based upon detection of an alteration in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. [4]
History and Symptoms
The physical features of Fragile X syndrome is prominent around the time of puberty. Physical features include:[5]
- Large and protruding ears
- Elongated face
- Macroorchidism (large testicles in men after puberty)
- Flat foot
- High Arched palate
- Hyperflexible finger joints
- Low muscle tone
The common features in child with Fragile X Syndrome include low IQ with learning difficulties (intellectual disabilities). Behavioral abnormalities includes stereotypic movements (e.g., hand-flapping) hyperactivity, inattention, poor social interaction, limited eye contact and poor memory. Child with Fragile X syndrome often presents with developmental delay (including delayed attainment of motor and language milestones).[6] Approximately, 20% of boy with Fragile X syndrome develops seizures (mostly simple or complex partial seizures)[7]
