A member asked:
Can you tell me what you suggest if you are a carrier of fragile x, will your son have higher chances of down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: Fragile x and Down syndrome are unrelated conditions. Down syndrome is due to an extra copy of chromosome 21, most typically trisomy 21. Most cases of fragile x are due to a mutation of the fmr1 gene which is located on the x chromosome.
