Order Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier ScreenFragile X carrier testing examines the FMR1 gene to determine whether a person carries a premutation that can be passed to future generations. The test is typically considered by individuals with a family history of fragile X syndrome or related conditions, and by those seeking information before or during pregnancy.
About Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier Screen in Compton
Fragile X syndrome is an inherited condition caused by changes in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.
The FMR1 gene normally contains a repeating sequence of the DNA letters CGG. When this repeat expands beyond a certain length, the gene may not function properly, leading to fragile X syndrome, which is associated with intellectual disability and other developmental features.
A carrier has a smaller expansion, known as a premutation, which usually does not cause fragile X syndrome in the carrier but can expand further when passed to a child. Because the gene is on the X chromosome, inheritance patterns differ between males and females.
Carrier testing analyzes the size and structure of the FMR1 repeat to classify a person as unaffected, a premutation carrier, or, in some cases, affected. Results can inform reproductive planning and help relatives understand their own potential risk.
