Brief Explanations
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome, leading to a fragile site on the tip of the X chromosome. Patau's syndrome (trisomy 13), Turner's syndrome (missing an X chromosome in females), and Klinefelter's syndrome (extra X chromosome in males) do not involve a fragile tip on the X chromosome.
