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 uses a blood sample and is typically ordered when there is a family history of fragile X syndrome, a personal history of fragile X-associated disorders, or a desire to understand reproductive risk.
About Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier Screen in Indio
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 three DNA bases. When this repeat expands beyond a certain length, it can affect the production of a protein needed for normal brain development and other functions.
A premutation carrier has an expanded repeat that usually does not cause fragile X syndrome but can be passed on and may expand further in the next generation. Carriers may also be at risk for related conditions, such as fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome or primary ovarian insufficiency.
Fragile X carrier testing identifies the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. This information helps individuals and their healthcare providers assess the likelihood of having a child with fragile X syndrome and make informed reproductive decisions.
