Consensus Statement of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics on Diagnosis and Management of Fragile X Syndrome in India

Justification Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Early identification results in appropriate management and improvement in functioning. Risk assessment in other family members can lead to prevention of the disorder. This necessitated the formulation of IAP recommendations for the diagnosis and management of FXS in Indian children and adolescents.
