Fragile X Syndrome.
Our project is fragile x syndrome websites that we used for our project is www.kumc.edu:80/gec/, www.school.ed.com,www.biology.about.com.About 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females are affected by fragile x syndrome.Usually males are affected more by this disorder than females.People find out by getting a blood test and a genetic condition   involving  changes in parts of the x CXhromosomes.You get this disorder from your mom so this is sex-linked.
The signs and symptoms of the disorder is a large head,elongated face, large bullying ears ,prominent chin and forehead.There is not a specific treatment for fragile x syndrome.Instead training and education have been developed to help affected children function at as high level as possible.
