What is Fragile X Syndrome Testing?
Fragile X syndrome is caused by an expansion in the FMR1 gene and is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum features. This test is typically done for a child with developmental delay of unknown cause, or for carrier screening in someone with a family history of Fragile X, intellectual disability, or early menopause/ovarian issues (which can also be linked to FMR1 carrier status).
Why is Fragile X Syndrome Testing done?
- Measures the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene to diagnose Fragile X syndrome — the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability.
- Identifies 'premutation' carriers, who can have children with Fragile X and may themselves develop conditions such as FXPOI or FXTAS.
- Provides a clear answer for families with developmental delay or autism features.
Who may be advised to take Fragile X Syndrome Testing?
- Children with developmental delay, intellectual disability or autism spectrum features.
- Families with a history of Fragile X or unexplained intellectual disability.
- Women with premature ovarian insufficiency, and adults with unexplained tremor or ataxia, where a family link is suspected.

Good to know
- Fragile X is X-linked: boys are usually more severely affected, though girls can be too.
- Premutation carriers are often well in childhood but can pass an expanded gene on to their children.
- After a diagnosis, testing relatives (cascade testing) is common and should be guided by a geneticist.
