Doctors diagnose Fragile X by using a microscope to examine X chromosomes isolated from white blood cells. The defective site is often clearly visible at the end of one of the chromosome's arms. Last year a more accurate diagnostic test was devised by Geneticist W. Ted Brown, of the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities (IBR) on Staten Island. Brown's team uses a technique in which snippets of DNA taken from the X chromosomes of people suspected of having the condition are compared with snippets from their normal relatives...
Because the defective site is on the X chromosome, females (who are born with two Xs, one inherited from each parent) are less often affected by the syndrome; their normal X chromosome can mask the effects of the faulty one. But males, who have one X and one Y sex chromosome, have no such backup and are therefore more susceptible. Still, for reasons that baffle scientists, not all females are protected, and some males are spared. "About 20% of males who inherit the gene are unaffected carriers, and about a third of all females who are carriers are affected," says...
