Fragile X Syndrome

"[Fragile X] is the most common cause of inherited learning disability. It affects boys and girls and causes a wide range of problems with learning and behaviour, from mild to severe. Boys are usually more seriously affected than girls. FXS is caused by an alteration in a particular gene that lies on the X chromosome."
