FMR1 gene testing is advised to patients with:
In order to determine the presence of a gene with a pre-mutation or complete mutation, f-PCR (fluorescent polymerase chain reaction) method for examination of the gene is required. Importantly, women with pre-mutation of the FMR1 gene are at risk of having a sick child with fragile X syndrome (FXS). The greater the number of repetitions in the gene, the higher is the risk.
In order to determine the action plan, it is necessary to carry out the test and to receive the consultation with a geneticist.
Blood or saliva.
If you choose to do the blood draw at the clinic on site, a blood collection fee will apply.
