Molecular genetic testing of the FMR1 gene is commonly performed in clinical laboratories. Mutations in the FMR1 gene are associated with fragile X syndrome
It is intended that PCR be used as a first line diagnostic test for individuals suspected of having fragile X syndrome and for cascade testing of first degree
Purpose: The College of American Pathologists offers biannual proficiency testing for molecular analysis of fragile X syndrome. The purpose of this study was to

Couples with a family history of Fragile X Syndrome should seek this test and genetic counseling prior to becoming pregnant. Diagnosis can also be made during
Common behavior problems include hyperactivity attention deficit disorder
The fragile X DNA test has revolutionized fragile X syndrome diagnosis and accompanying genetic counseling It has been available since 1991 and provides
Description: Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability It affects predominantly males
Fragile X syndrome is an inherited condition that causes intellectual disability behavior challenges and small differences in the way a person looks The
Fragile X Syndrome Tests to Consider Preferred test to diagnose FXS FXTAS and for carrier screening in individuals with a positive family history
Adults with a suspected clinical diagnosis of POF and FXTAS Carrier testing for adults with a confirmed or suspected family history of fragile X syndrome
This test looks for an expanded mutation (called a triplet repeat) in the FMR1 gene DNA testing detects more than 99 of individuals (both males and females)
