What is Fragility?
Fragile X syndrome is an inherited genetic disease that causes intellectual and developmental disabilities. Inherited means that the disease is passed down from parents to children through their genes. Fragile X syndrome is the most common hereditary source of mental disability in boys. People with fragile X syndrome usually experience a range of developmental and learning problems. The disease is a life-long condition. Only some people with fragile X syndrome are able to live independently.
