Molecular biology of fragile X syndromeComorbidities of fragile X syndrome; Intellectual disability; Psychosis and fragile X syndrome; Anxiety and fragile X syndrome; Autism and fragile X syndrome; The premutation and fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome; Conclusion; REFERENCES; 8 CHANNELOPATHIES; The primary episodic ataxias; Dravet syndrome and other SCN1A-related infantile epileptic encephalopathies; REFERENCES; 9 INCREASED LONGEVITY AND THE COMORBIDITIES ASSOCIATED; Comorbidities associated with intellectual and developmental disabilities; Down syndrome; Projected health trends.
Comorbidities are the co-occurrence of conditions more frequently than would be expected by chance: one may cause the other, share a common cause or be a sign of a single condition. Our growing understanding of the mechanisms underlying many comorbidities helps understand the natural history of these conditions and improve their management.
