  • Title: Cardiac abnormalities in the fragile X syndrome.
    Author: Sreeram N, Wren C, Bhate M, Robertson P, Hunter S.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1989 Mar; 61(3):289-91. PubMed ID: 2930667.
    Abstract:
    Twenty three patients with fragile X syndrome underwent cardiovascular assessment. Echocardiography showed dilatation of the aortic root in 12 (52%) and mitral valve prolapse in five (22%), four of whom had an apical mid-systolic click on auscultation. Patients with fragile X syndrome have cardiac defects similar to those seen in other disorders of connective tissue such as Marfan's syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. These, and other somatic features, suggest an underlying connective tissue dysplasia.
