Diagnosis of the genetic disorder Fragile X syndrome can be devastating for our young patients and their families, knowing that both the patient and their elders can be affected by this condition. Should we expand current screening measures for Fragile X? As clinicians, how do we guide patients and their families through this process of understanding their diagnosis? Dr. Randi Hagerman, professor and endowed chair of Fragile X research, and medical director of the Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (MIND) Institute at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, joins host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill to talk about the nuances of this genetic condition.
