Fragile X Syndrome Inheritance - Normal

Fragile X Syndrome Inheritance

Non-symptomatic Parents

(Both parents with normal genes)

 

Each child inherits one-half of each pair of their 23rd chromosome from each parent. For boys the father must contribute the 'y' since the mother doesn't have any 'y' to contribute. Therefore the mother contributes the boy's 'x' half.

 

For girls, one 'x' comes from their father and one from their mother.
