Abstract
Fragile X syndrome is the commonest form of X-linked disorder. Its frequency among MR ranges from 6-9%. There are a few reports available on Fragile X syndrome from Indian population and we have screened for 300 MR subjects with 26 subjects (8.6%) showing Fragile X chromosome expression in 3- 40% of lymphocyte cultures. Herein, we have discussed frequency of Fragile X in the Indian population. Among the subject groups, there were 7 families with multiple sibs being affected and 3 mothers of the affected subjects showed carrier status. The combined data from the Indian population is presented in this study for better understanding of the population dynamics of this syndrome.
