About Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier Screen in Davis
This test examines the FMR1 gene to determine fragile X status, including whether an individual is a carrier of a premutation or full mutation.
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a change in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. When a specific DNA sequence is repeated too many times, the gene may not function normally, leading to the features associated with the condition.
Carriers typically have a smaller expansion, called a premutation, and usually do not show the classic signs of fragile X syndrome. However, premutations can expand when passed from parent to child, which is why carrier testing is used to assess reproductive risk.
Testing is performed on a blood sample and results are generally reported within a few days. The findings help clarify whether an individual is affected, a carrier, or unaffected, and can guide further genetic counseling.
