ICD10 code of Fragile X Syndrome and ICD9 code

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disabilities and developmental delays. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a system used to classify and code medical diagnoses. The ICD has undergone revisions, with the latest version being the 10th edition (ICD-10).

The ICD-10 code for Fragile X Syndrome is Q99.2. The code Q99 refers to other chromosome abnormalities, while the specific code Q99.2 designates Fragile X Syndrome. This code is used by healthcare professionals to accurately identify and document cases of Fragile X Syndrome in medical records and billing systems.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Fragile X Syndrome is 759.83. The ICD-9 system was the previous version of the classification system, but it has been replaced by ICD-10 for more precise and detailed coding. Nonetheless, the ICD-9 code 759.83 was commonly used to indicate Fragile X Syndrome prior to the implementation of ICD-10.

Fragile X Syndrome is characterized by an abnormal expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeat in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. This genetic mutation leads to a variety of symptoms, including intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, speech and language delays, social and behavioral challenges, and physical features such as a long face and large ears.

By using the appropriate ICD-10 code Q99.2 or the previous ICD-9 code 759.83, healthcare professionals can ensure accurate identification and tracking of Fragile X Syndrome cases, facilitating appropriate medical care, research, and billing processes.
