title: Fragile X syndrome--a review.
abstract: Since the discovery of the Fragile X syndrome some 20 years ago, there have been numerous articles concerning clinical features, cognitive profile and transmission. It is a syndrome of importance to all those working in the mental health field and those involved in community health, such as General Practitioners, since it is second only to Down syndrome as a genetic cause of mental handicap.
