Females & Fragile X Syndrome
Females with a full mutation exhibit a wide range of cognitive abilities, from very mild learning disabilities (normal IQ) to intellectual disabilities. Females are much less likely than boys to exhibit physical characteristics of Fragile X and many have no noticeable physical differences. Females with a full mutation are at increased risk to experience anxiety.

Reproductive Options
There are a number of ways to build a family for carriers including conceiving naturally and testing the pregnancy (i.e., prenatal diagnosis), testing a fertilized egg outside the woman’s body, and implanting only unaffected embryos (i.e., preimplantation genetic diagnosis), using an egg donor, adoption, or conceiving naturally and not doing any testing.Identity and Reproductive Aspects in Females with Fragile X Syndrome — Women’s Health Reports (Dec 2021)
