What are the possible genotypes of the parents of a child with fragile X syndrome?

0

Fragile X syndrom is not caused by a classical Mendelian mechanism. It is caused by repeated regions of DNA on the X chromosome. With the information given in the question and the possibility for a new mutation to have been generated in this generation all genotypes are possible. The gender of the affected child and state of health of the parents would help narrow down the possibilities.
