Major Symptoms Linked To Triple X Syndrome
May 6, 2019
Triple X syndrome or trisomy X is a disorder where a female has three X chromosomes in all or some of their cells instead of the two X chromosomes normally present in the cells of females. This condition occurs due to a random genetic mutation and is not inherited. In healthy individuals, a sex chromosome comes from each parent to make a pair. An individual will always inherit an X chromosome from their mother, but they can inherit either an X or a Y chromosome from their father. If the pair is XX, the individual is female, and if the pair is XY, the individual is male.
