DID YOU

that Trisomy X, also known as Triple X

syndrome or 47, XXX, is a genetic condition
that occurs in females? It's not very common,
affecting only around 1 in 1,000 girls. But the
good news is that it can be managed with
proper medical care. If you or someone you
know is affected by Trisomy X, know that
you're not alone and there are resources
available to help you.
 Trisomy X is a genetic condition that occurs in
females when they have an extra X chromosome
in all their cells. This leads to a total of three X
chromosomes, instead of the typical two. The
syndrome is usually inherited from the mother,
and the risk of its occurrence increases with the
mother's age. This condition occurs only in
individuals who were assigned female at birth
(AFAB).

There’s no cure for triple X syndrome. However,
early diagnosis and intervention can make a big
difference in improving developmental outcomes
for those affected. So if you or someone you
know is facing this challenge, remember that there
is hope and support available!
