Recognizing National Fragile X Awareness Month

July 1^st marked the beginning of National Fragile X Awareness Month, and July 22 is World Fragile X Day.  The National Fragile X Foundation reports that the prevalence of FXS in males is approximately 1 in 7,000 and in females 1 in 11,000, making it a leading inherited cause of intellectual disability. We at the NDL want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our participating families and members of the FXS community whose support make our work possible.

The National Fragile X Foundation has sponsored a vast array of events that “work to raise awareness, educate, and bring together the community.” Click here to learn more about the National Fragile X Foundation and ongoing work in FXS research and advocacy.
