What is Fragile X syndrome? (for brochure, click here)  Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of mental impairment, affecting approximately 1 in 3,600 males and 1 in 4,000 to 6,000 females with the full mutation worldwide.  It is estimated that 1 in 250 females and 1 in 700 males are carriers of the premutation.

It is second only to Down Syndrome as a cause of mental retardation. Both males and females may be affected by a wide variety of symptoms.

Fragile X syndrome appears in children of all ethnic, racial and socio-economic backgrounds.

Our Mission  Our organization was formed to promote public awareness of Fragile X syndrome with special emphasis on educators and health professionals; provide a forum for families of children with Fragile X to meet and share their ideas, concerns and problems; and support scientific research on Fragile X syndrome.
