Marfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene, which is located on chromosome 15 and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. It is not linked to the X chromosome. Both males and females can inherit and display symptoms of Marfan syndrome.

Is marfan syndrome carried on the x or y chromosome or both?

Marfan syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in a single copy of the gene is enough to cause the disorder. It is not specifically located on the X or Y chromosome.


Famous people who have triple x syndrome?

There are no famous individuals known to have Triple X syndrome (also called Trisomy X). Triple X syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females where they have an extra X chromosome (XXY) instead of the typical XX combination. It is a relatively rare condition and may often go undiagnosed.


What happens if a female with Turner Syndrome has the X chromosome inactivated?

If a female with Turner Syndrome inactivates the X chromosome that carries the Turner Syndrome genetic material, she may develop a condition called mosaicism. This can result in a less severe presentation of Turner Syndrome symptoms, as some cells in her body will have the typical number of X chromosomes. However, the exact impact can vary widely among individuals.


Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?

Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.


What is the prevalence and clinical significance of monosomy X mosaicism in individuals with Turner syndrome?

Monosomy X mosaicism is a rare genetic condition where some cells in the body have only one X chromosome instead of the usual two. In individuals with Turner syndrome, this condition can occur and may have clinical significance. The prevalence of monosomy X mosaicism in Turner syndrome is not well established, but it can impact the severity and symptoms of the syndrome. It may lead to a more variable presentation of Turner syndrome, with some individuals experiencing more severe symptoms than others.

What chromosome is affected by Marfan syndrome?

Since the traits for hemophilia are carried on the X chromosome and not the Y, it is more probable for females to have a chromosome with the mutation. Since the mutation is considered recessive and males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to portray the phenotype for hemophilia than their female counterparts.

Is Turner's syndrome the same as triple x syndrome?

No, they are two different things. Normally, a woman has 46 X chromozomes. If there are only 45 of them, it´s the Monozomy X, so called Turner syndrome. If there are 47 of them, it´s the Trizomy X, also known as the Triple X syndrome.
