WOMEN’S ISSUES IN FRAGILE X SPECTRUM DISORDERS

Mothers and grandmothers of children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) are confronted with many issues that impact their children, their own health, and the extended family’s health. Raising a child with FXS can be very stressful and the fragile X premutation influences the body’s response to stress. Women with a premutation are at risk for unique health conditions that are not associated with carrying a full mutation. They have a high risk for fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) and a variety of health problems including thyroid disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypertension, anxiety, and depression. In addition, genetic counseling will lay out the options of future reproduction and in vitro fertilization (IVF) in a way to ensure a desired pregnancy. Hormonal replacement therapy and the diagnosis of FXPOI will be reviewed in detail. Various interventions to stay healthy in aging will be reviewed.
