About coding X chromosome fragile
The ICD-10-CM code for X chromosome fragile is Q99.2 (Fragile X chromosome).
Within Q99 (other chromosome abnormalities, not elsewhere classified), Q99.2 is specifically for fragile X chromosome. Related codes cover Chimera 46, XX/46, XY (Q99.0), 46, XX true hermaphrodite (Q99.1), other specified chromosome abnormalities (Q99.8) and chromosomal abnormality, unspecified (Q99.9).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 884 (Organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability, relative weight 1.6001), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
