What is Triple X Syndrome?
  • Triple X syndrome, otherwise known as trisomy
    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.

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.
