Order Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier ScreenFragile X carrier testing is a genetic blood test that identifies whether a person carries an expanded repeat in the FMR1 gene. Carriers typically do not show symptoms of fragile X syndrome, but they can pass the altered gene to their children.
About Fragile X Carrier Testing | Carrier Screen in Frederick
Fragile X syndrome is an inherited condition caused by changes in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.
The FMR1 gene normally contains a short repeated sequence of DNA. When this repeat expands beyond a certain length, the gene may function abnormally and produce fragile X syndrome.
Carrier testing determines the size and stability of the repeat. Results distinguish between a normal range, an intermediate or gray-zone range, a premutation (carrier) range, and a full mutation.
Because the gene is located on the X chromosome, inheritance patterns differ between males and females. A carrier mother has a chance of passing the expanded repeat to each child, and the risk of expansion to a full mutation depends on the repeat size.
