• Cytogenetic Study
The right-hand member in each of these two pairs of X chromosomes is a fragile X; the leader points to the fragile site at the tip of the long arm. Males hemizygous for this chromosome exhibit the fragile-X syndrome of mild to moderate mental retardation.
![Page 19: final report fragile x syndrome](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/551d8cf54979595a198b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cytogenetic Studies
• Useful to exclude sex chromosomes and subtle autosomal abnormalities frequently associated with nonspecific mental retardation
• The fragile site, fra(X)(q27.3), can be induced under specific culture conditions

WWhy fragile Xhy fragile X
•Particular feature at the end of some of their X chromosomes when examined under a high powered microscope in a cytogenetics laboratory using special techniques.
•This feature is called a 'fragile site' (fra X) because it appears as a narrowing at the end of the chromosome.
![Page 26: final report fragile x syndrome](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/551d8cf54979595a198b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

•Each chromosome is made up of genes. •Genes contain the information used by other parts of the cell to make proteins, the body's building blocks. •Proteins make up the structure of your organs and tissues

• Each protein performs a specific job in different types of cells, and the information for making at least one protein is contained in a single gene.

• Genes are made up of various lengths of DNA, which contains four chemicals: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
• Triplet: information in our gene is made up of 3 letters= trinucleotides

• In some genes, the same triplet is repeated within the DNA sequence.
• This is a sequence of ‘triplet repeats’.
• The number of times that a triplet code is repeated in a gene can be critical
![Page 31: final report fragile x syndrome](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/551d8cf54979595a198b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• The triplet that is repeated in the FMR-1 gene is made up of the letters ‘CGG’.
• When the number of ‘CGG’ repeats in the FMR-1 gene increases over a critical number, the gene becomes so long that it becomes faulty.

CGG lies within the 5’ untranslated region of the first exon of FMR- 1
CPG island: DNA region of high deoxycytidine and deoxyguanosine content linked by a phosphodiester located near the protein coding region of a gene and related to its regulation of gene expression
![Page 34: final report fragile x syndrome](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/551d8cf54979595a198b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hypermethylation: a chemical alteration of DNA introduced by the attachment of a methyl group to deoxycytidine, thereby producing 5-methyl deoxycytidine in the CG sequence where cellular regulation of gene expression or X-inactivation is believed to occur.
Normally , thymine is the one methylated. In here, cytidine is the one being methylated.

NormalNormal
The genetic code for the FMR-1 gene usually contains a limited repetition of CGG sequences.The normal range is 5-50 repeats.

Premutation
When the number of CGG repeats is between 50 and 200 the individual is a premutation carrier of fragile X syndrome. Carriers are not usually affected by fragile X syndrome, but they are at risk of having affected children.

IT’S IN THE DNA!!!

POINTS TO REMEMBER IN FRAGILE X SYNDROME
INHERITANCE:•Fragile X in an "X-linked" condition, which means that the gene is on the X chromosome.
•If she has a premutation, and it is passed on (to either males or females), it can remain a premutation or it can expand to a full mutation.
•If she has a full mutation and it is passed on (to either males or females), it will remain a full mutation.

•Males with the premutation will pass it on to all of their daughters and none of their sons .
•In other X linked conditions all males who carry the gene are affected, in fragile X, unaffected males can carry the gene in the premutation form and have no symptoms of fragile X syndrome
•In many X linked conditions only males who inherit the abnormal gene are affected, in fragile X, females can also be affected.

SHERMAN PARADOX
•It indicates the variation in the propensity of premutation to become full mutations maybe related to:
1.Size of the premutation
2. Gender of the carrier

Analyze FMR-1 gene in fragile X families with transmitting maleTransmitting males = premutation
Daughters = same number of CGG repeats from fatherUnstable during oogenesis= full mutation on sons
Brothers= full mutationsPremutations >80 repeats of CGG= full mutations( mothers)

In summary..
FRAGIILEXSYNDROME..•Is a X linked disorder.•Can be a premutation and full mutation.•Caused by mutation in the trinucleotide sequence causing methylation.•Loss of FMRP causing mental retardation etc.•Can be diagnosed molecularly.•Worsen with each passing generations.•Has no cure, but can be manage.
