Fragile X is one of the causes of autism spectrum disorder. It's important for teachers, for allied health professionals, and it is still, sadly, all too common for this diagnosis to be made in children in late primary school or even later, and that's not the way it should be.
Imagine discovering a genetic condition that impacts not just individuals, but entire families and communities. In this episode of 'This Pathological Life', Dr. Travis Brown dives into Fragile X Syndrome, the most common inherited intellectual disability. This condition, which predominantly affects boys, presents a unique set of challenges for doctors, patients, and their loved ones. Through the lens of history and modern genetic advancements, Dr. Brown, alongside guest expert Professor Graeme Suthers, unpacks the complexities of Fragile X.
From its early detection to the importance of genetic counseling, they offer a comprehensive look at the disorder's causes, symptoms, and far-reaching implications. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a parent, or someone interested in genetics, this episode provides practical advice and deep insights into living with and managing Fragile X Syndrome. Tune in to gain a better understanding of how this condition shapes lives and learn why listening to patients is crucial in its diagnosis and treatment.
