Standards (95th, 50th, and 5th percentiles) in fragile X syndrome for weight, height, head circumference, ear length, and testicular volume are reported. For comparison with fragile X syndrome standardized curves, normal control data from the literature were similarly plotted and curves produced. These standards reflect the physical parameters that are frequently abnormal in males with the fragile X syndrome and should be useful in the medical management of patients with this syndrome. The standards may also be used to help identify those individuals, particularly the younger males, for chromosome studies to confirm the clinical impression of the fragile X syndrome.
报告了脆性X综合征患者体重、身高、头围、耳长和睾丸体积的标准值(第95百分位、第50百分位和第5百分位)。为了与脆性X综合征的标准化曲线进行比较,将文献中的正常对照数据进行类似的绘制并生成曲线。这些标准反映了脆性X综合征男性患者中经常出现异常的身体参数,在该综合征患者的医疗管理中应会有所帮助。这些标准还可用于帮助识别那些个体,尤其是年轻男性,以便进行染色体研究以确认脆性X综合征的临床诊断。
