People with fragile X syndrome may have an unusually low risk for cancer, says Randi Hagerman, medical director of the MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis. People with fragile X, who often have autism as well, have mutations that silence FMR1 and prevent cells throughout the body from producing FMRP.
