Fragile X Premutation Quiz
Could You Be a Fragile X Carrier?
A 10-question screening to help you decide if genetic testing is right for you
Inspired by the research of Dr. Randi Hagerman, Medical Director of the MIND Institute at UC Davis
Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and the most common known single-gene cause of autism. But here's what most people don't know: millions of people carry the Fragile X premutation without ever being diagnosed.
Approximately 1 in 200 women and 1 in 400 men are Fragile X premutation carriers — and most have no idea.
This short quiz looks at family history, health patterns, and personal traits that research has linked to Fragile X premutation carrier status. It takes about 2 minutes.
Important: This quiz is not a diagnosis. Only a blood test (FMR1 DNA test) can confirm carrier status. This screening is designed to help you recognize patterns that may warrant a conversation with your doctor or a genetic counselor.
