This paper defines Fragile X syndrome, the genetic complications it causes and reviews the incidence of inheritance. The paper then discusses the physical, cognitive and psychosocial aspects of living with Fragile X syndrome.
From the Paper:
"Fragile X syndrome is a relatively common chromosomal disorder that can cause many different levels of mental retardation and can have an effect on all aspects of a person's development. According to The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) pamphlet, Facts About Fragile X Syndrome, the syndrome is, "The most common genetically-inherited form of mental retardation currently known"(1). By exploring the cause, treatment, and decisions that can face the families of those dealing with the disorder, the effect Fragile X has on the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial aspects of human development can be better appreciated."
