X is for X Chromosome
The X chromosome is one of the chromosomes that determines the sex of a person. XX is female and XY is male. I have heard about this all my life and even have two that I have been carrying around for over 50 years. Little did I know that this little microscopic chromosome would have such an impact on my life. The about picture is a "normal" X chromosome. The one below is not "normal" My x chromosome and my son's X chromosome looks like this. This little abnormality has really caused a lot of problems but has also brought joy and great learning to me.

Great 'X' post Karen...teaching special ed. I have had many children who've had various 'x' syndormes, fragile X being one of them.
Isn't our make up down to microscopic events just wondrous? I think we are amazing creatures indeed!
Your take on life never ceases to amaze me. You look for the blessings in challenges and you find them.
I never realized that "fragile X" was quite such a literal name.
Thanks for the explanation, and I like your attitude, always looking for the blessings.
=)
Thank you for explaining this to me....you are such a blessing to me at Jeremiah 29:11...thank you so much for being so faithful to comment!
Blessings come in the most strangest of disguises.
I had never heard of Fragile X until I "met" you. Speaking of having "met" you.....I'm so happy that I did. :)
Hope you are feeling better and that you have wonderful weekend!
