Blood Test Sheds Light on Fragile X Syndrome

A blood test may shed new light on Fragile X syndrome related disorders in women, as Fragile X pre-mutation carriers have normal intellect, but some can develop physical symptoms over time and are also more likely to develop social anxiety and depression.  More...
