When Dr. Carlo Paribello’s first two sons were diagnosed with a condition known as Fragile X Syndrome, he says it was as if there had been a death pronounced in the family.

Fragile X affects 1 in 4,000 boys and 1 in 8,000 girls worldwide. It can be passed silently down through generations in a family before a child is born with the syndrome.

Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disease due to a CGG trinucleotide expansion, called as full mutation (greater than 200 CGG repeats), in the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene locus Xq27.3.
