The quality of life varies enormously from each fraxa carrier to the other. It depends on what it is effecting. Some People come off with little to no effects except that they do not have as many eggs in their ovaries. Some people have mental retaerdation, which causes for manic and depressive times. There are also some who just have a difficulty learning how to speak,, and act as the video shows. It really depends on the illness' form.
There are many ways for the mutations of fragile X to be inherited, and it is often that it is passed down to the next generation of two parents both are carriers or the inflicted. However the spontanious mutation is not controllable, but luckily, not very common.
What Is fragile X syndrome? Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder carried on the x chromasome. Also known as FRAXA, this Disorder cans cause a large array of disabilities, from autistic like speech and mental impediments to a from which damages the ovaries and can cause early menopause. A strictly genetic disease, fragile X sydrome does not have to be present in eitther of the parents families, or the parents themselves, and can come from a slight mutation in the FMR1 gene and the bearer is stuck with the disorder permanently. It is less common though for the trait to be caused by mutation, but there are some cases of this occuring. Many of the effects of Fragile X can be restrianed or almost hidden by therapy, and teaching. however one cannot completely be rid of the disorder, and it will remain present in the carier for life.
