XXX Syndrome also called Triple X, Trisomy X, and 47, XXX

What? This syndrome occurs when a there is non disjunction and instead of have XX chromosomes the child will get an extra X.

Symptoms? Females with triple X syndrome normally are still fertile and have no abnormal features other than being a little taller than normal. Some cases have shown a greater percentage of learning disabilities such as dyslexia, speech developments and delayed motor skills. Some cases have shown slightly high levels of stress. Also, it does not cause early deaths.

Commonness? Only about 1 in every 1000 female births will be triple X and most females live normal lives never finding out they have the extra chromosome. About 5 - 10 girls are born each day with tripe X syndrome in the U.S.

How do I get it? Triple X is a randomly occurring disorder that in the majority of cases in not inherited.

Treatment. If learning disabilities occur treatment would be the same as any other person with that disorder. There is no way to cure or get rid of the extra chromosome but a positive home environment can help to reduce stress. The following pictures are from [|www.triple-x-syndroom.nl] which is one of the biggest support groups of the syndrome and you can send messages to people that live thier lives with this syndrome.



The link below is to a youtube video that shows a trisomy occurs in cells. When the cells are dividing one cell will take both chromosomes instead of just one (the purple chromosome does it in the video). This is how Trisomy X occur because the dad will an X, the mom will give an X, and either the mom's cell or the dad's cell gave an extra X.
