Lets Take A Look
Cause
Due to a random genetic error, females with this condition have three X chromosomes.
On the Cellular Level
Symptoms
Causes & Symptoms

- Weak muscle tone
- Problems with motor skills
- Behavior and emotional problems

Inheritance Pattern
- Sex-linked
- Recessive
- 1:1000 females get the disorder
- No Punet Square in the way that the disorder in random
Mode of Inheritance
Diagnosis
- Prenatal Testing
- Genetic Testing
Triple X-Syndrome can be detected bofore and after birth
Diagnosis
Population Affected
Any female in the world can get Triple- X Syndrome.
Treatments
The chromosome error that causes triple X syndrome can't be repaired, so the syndrome itself has no cure. Treatment is based on symptoms and needs.
- Periodic Screenings
- Early intervention services
- Educational assistance
- Supportive environment and counseling
- Assistance and support in daily functioning
What does the Future hold?
Unfortunatly, there is no cure for Triple X Syndrome and scientist have considered the chromosome mutation to be uncurable.
Whats to come?
Although, I believe that eventually we will find a way to fix the mutation before birth.
