Abstract
Fragile X syndrome is one of the most common genetic causes of learning disability. Patients with this and other neurodevelopmental disorders will often present to primary care before a diagnosis is made, and this can be challenging and worrying for patients and other carers. These patients may face a number of barriers in accessing healthcare services including communication, behavioural and sensory difficulties. It may be difficult to understand whether symptoms are part of their condition or because of a comorbidity that needs to be addressed. Input from families and carers can be vital in helping with diagnosis. This article aims to outline the key clinical features, diagnosis and management of this syndrome.
