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.


What chromosome number is affected in Lowe syndrome?

Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.


What kind of mutation is triple x syndrome?

Triple X syndrome is a genetic mutation characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome in females, resulting in a karyotype of 47,XXX instead of the typical 46,XX. It is considered a numerical chromosomal abnormality, where the extra X chromosome can lead to various physical and developmental differences, though many individuals with this condition are asymptomatic.


What chromosome is the triple x syndrome found on?

Triple X syndrome, also known as 47,XXX, is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in females. This condition occurs due to nondisjunction during meiosis, resulting in a total of three X chromosomes instead of the typical two. It is associated with various physical and developmental features, but many individuals may have mild symptoms or none at all. The extra X chromosome is located on the X chromosome itself, so it is not associated with a specific chromosome number other than the X chromosome.


What are two diseases linked to the X chromosome?

One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.

Can triple x syndrome inherited?

No. Triple X occurs on the sex chromosomes.


How does triple x syndrome occur?

Triple X syndrome is a genetic disorder in which a girl has three X chromosomes instead of two. Triple X occurs once in every 1,000 female births. However, doctors believe many girls with Triple X go their lifetime undiagnosed. The major features of Triple X are learning, behavioral and emotional problems. Compared with other syndromes in which a person has inherited three chromosomes. Triple X is quite mild in nature.


Is there a treatment for Triple X Syndrome?

i dont think so but there might eventually. the above response is incorrect. Triple X syndrome does not have a treatment because you cannot take an X chromosome away from every cell in the body

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.


Does Triple X syndrome occur because of nondisjunction?

Yes, Triple X syndrome can occur due to nondisjunction during meiosis, resulting in an individual having an extra X chromosome (47, XXX) instead of the typical two X chromosomes (46, XX). Nondisjunction can happen during either the mother's or father's gamete formation.


Is triple x syndrome race or gender centered?

Gender. Only Females can get it.
