description Over the past several months we have learned about how pre-existent comorbidities may influence the outcome of patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with diabetes mellitus and obesity being commonly reported in association with increased mortality among these patients. In this report, the authors explore the case of a patient with Fragile-X Syndrome (FXS) who developed pneumonia due to COVID-19. FXS is an inherited cause of intellectual disability with potential neurologic and physiologic sequelae. In this narrative, we aim to describe how FXS may potentially play a role in the clinical course of patients with COVID-19.
