FRAGILE X SYNDROME is a hereditary condition which can cause learning problems in both males and females. It is the most common known cause of inherited mental impairment. The spectrum of intellectual involvement ranges from subtle learning difficulties and a normal IQ to severe developmental disability and autism. In addition to mental impairment, fragile X syndrome is associated with a group of physical and behavioral characteristics as well as speech and language delays.
