A member asked:
What to do if i have a 22 year old son with fragile x syndrome.i was told that they are developing a drug that either cures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Specialist: It depends upon what the symptoms are. Some people with this suffer from developmental, intellectual and emotional issuesthis is caused by the effects of the chromosomal abnormalities. There may eventually be medications that help the symptoms, but I am not aware of a cure as of yet. Seeing a specialist for these issues to develop a plan of therapy would be wise.
