About the Fragile X Carrier Testing - Carrier Screen
Fragile X carrier testing examines the FMR1 gene to measure the number of CGG repeats and determine carrier or affected status. Fragile X syndrome is an inherited condition associated with intellectual and developmental differences. The test can also detect premutation carriers, who may have no symptoms but can pass an expanded repeat to a child. Clinicians order it for reproductive planning, family-risk assessment, and evaluation of certain symptoms.
Who this test may be right for
- People with a family history of fragile X syndrome.
- Individuals with unexplained developmental or reproductive concerns.
- Couples considering reproductive carrier screening.
- Women with a history of certain reproductive conditions.
- Anyone with a partner known to be a fragile X carrier.
What this test measures
- FMR1 gene CGG repeat expansion The number of CGG repeats is measured to identify premutation carriers, full mutations, and possible affected status.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required for fragile X testing.
- Take usual medications unless told otherwise.
- Share family history and reproductive plans.
- A blood sample is commonly used.
- Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.
Understanding your results
The number of FMR1 CGG repeats determines whether a result falls in the normal, premutation, or full mutation range. A premutation can have reproductive implications, while a full mutation is associated with fragile X syndrome. Because repeat size can change when passed to a child, results are best reviewed with a genetic counselor. Discuss the findings with a healthcare provider and genetic counselor.
