  2. What is Triple X Syndrome? Triple X syndrome, otherwise known astrisomy X or 47 XXX, is a hereditary disorder that affects about 1 in 1,000 females. Females generally have two X chromosomes in all cells — one X chromosome from per parent. A female suffering from triple X syndrome has three X chromosomes. Many girls and women with triple X syndrome do not have any symptoms or have only mild symptoms. In other cases, symptoms might be more apparent — possibly including developmental delays and learning disabilities. Seizures and kidney abnormalities happen among a small number of girls and women suffering from triple X syndrome. The treatment for triple X syndrome depends upon what symptoms, if any, are present and their seriousness.

  3. Symptoms Of Triple X Syndrome Signs and symptoms could differ greatly among girls and women suffering from triple X syndrome. Many do not experience any noticeable effects or have only mild symptoms. Sometimes triple X syndrome might be related to these signs and symptoms: Vertical folds of skin that cover the inside corners of the eyes (epicanthal folds) Widely spaced eyes Abnormally curved pinky fingers Flat feet Abnormally shaped breastbone Weak muscle tone (hypotonia) Seizures Kidney abnormalities

  4. Causes Of Triple X Syndrome Although triple X syndrome is genetic, it is generally not hereditary — it is because of a random genetic error. Generally, people have forty-six chromosomes in each cell, organized into twenty-three pairs, including two sex chromosomes. One set of chromosomes is from the mother and another set is from the father. These chromosomes consist of genes, which carry instructions that determine everything from height to eye color. The pair of sex chromosomes — either XX or XY — decide a child's sex. A mother could give the child only an X chromosome, but a father could pass on an X or a Y chromosome: If the child is given an X chromosome by the father, the XX pair makes the child genetically a female. If the child is given a Y chromosome by the father, the XY pair means the child is genetically a male. Get More Details Information Click Here
