Preventive health and screening for people with fragile X syndrome

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is associated with a range of common health problems. Regular medical review is recommended. Consider using a disability health assessment template when conducting an annual comprehensive health assessment to identify health problems that are often missed or misdiagnosed in this group; see also Commonly missed health problems in people with developmental disability.

For advice on preventive health and screening at various life stages in people with developmental disability, see children, adolescents, adults or people who are ageing.
