Answer:

fragile X syndrome 

Explanation:

FMR1 gene mutations trigger fragile X syndrome.The gene FMR1 offers instructions on how to make a protein called FMRP.

This gene helps to control the output of other proteins and plays a part in the growth of synapses that are specific nerve cell connections.

It creates a variety of developmental issues including intellectual disabilities and cognitive impairment. This disease usually affects males more significantly than women.
