Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There may be several cognitive features that characterize fragile-X syndrome in both males and females. Since this study is one of the few that examines noninstitutionalized individuals with the syndrome, future studies of affected individuals should continue to include formal assessment of their cognitive skills. Likewise, the examination in this study of one single family with fragile-X syndrome indicates that further evaluation of verbal, perceptual, memory, language and speech skills is necessary to determine the prevalence of the features described.
