Abstract
We review the main characteristics of fragile X disorder. The different types of genetic (premutation and full mutation) are explained, and the main phenotypic presentations are described, including physical, psychological and behavioral features. The specific educational needs of children are stressed and other available interventions, including psychopharmacological ones, are summarized.
