overview
Triple X syndrome, also known as trisomy X or 47, XXX, is a genetic disorder that affects around 1 in 1,000 women. Women usually have two X chromosomes in all cells – one X chromosome from each parent. In triple X syndrome, a woman has three X chromosomes.
Many girls and women with triple X syndrome have no or mild symptoms. In other cases, symptoms may be more noticeable, possibly including developmental delays and learning disabilities. Seizures and kidney abnormalities occur in a small number of girls and women with triple X syndrome. XXX syndrome Treatment in Hyderabad

Sometimes significant symptoms can appear. When signs and symptoms are present, they are often variable. Signs and symptoms in girls and women with triple X syndrome may include an increased risk:
Delayed development of speech and language and motor skills such as sitting and walking
Learning difficulties such as reading difficulties (dyslexia), comprehension, or math
The reasons
Although triple X syndrome is genetic, it is usually not inherited – it is due to some random genetic error.
Typically, humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell, organized into 23 pairs, including two sex chromosomes. One set of chromosomes comes from the mother and the other from the father. These chromosomes contain genes that contain instructions that determine everything from size to eye color.
The pair of sex chromosomes – XX or XY – determines the sex of a child. A mother can only give the child one X chromosome, but a father can pass one X or Y chromosome:
If the child receives an X chromosome from the father, the XX pair genetically makes the child a female.
If the child receives a Y chromosome from the father, the XY pair means that the child is genetically male. XXX syndrome Treatment in Hyderabad
