Fragile X syndrome is the leading hereditary cause of developmental disabilities in all populations. This syndrome is the second most common identifiable cause of genetic mental retardation after Down syndrome. Fragile X also gives rise to anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, psychosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many other problems. There is currently no cure for Fragile X Syndrome, although appropriate education and medications can help maximize the potential of each child.
