Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. [1] The average IQ in males with FXS is under 55, while about two thirds of affected females are intellectually disabled.
Trisomy X, also known as triple X syndrome and characterized by the karyotype [note 1] 47,XXX, is a chromosome disorder in which a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome. It is relatively common and occurs in 1 in 1,000 females, but is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it.
Syndrome X may refer to: Groups of symptoms, so called as placeholder name, when newly discovered: Cardiac syndrome X; Metabolic syndrome; Neotenic complex syndrome, such as identified in Brooke Greenberg; Acute radiation syndrome, upon its recognition in 1945
The use of the term cardiac syndrome X (CSX) can lead to the lack of appreciation of how microvascular angina is a debilitating heart related pain condition with the increased risk of heart attack and other heart problems. Women may have difficulty accessing the specialist care of a cardiologist for this reason. [citation needed]
FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) is a human gene [5] that codes for a protein called fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein, or FMRP. [6] This protein, most commonly found in the brain, is essential for normal cognitive development and female reproductive function.
Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,X0, [note 1] is a chromosomal disorder in which female cells have only one X chromosome instead of two, or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.
Macroorchidism is a disorder found in males, specifically in children, where a subject has abnormally large testes.The condition is commonly inherited in connection with fragile X syndrome (FXS), which is also the second most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. [1]
