Q97: Other sex chromosome abnormalities, female phenotype, not elsewhere classified
Q97.0: Karyotype 47,XXX
When beginning its development, every single cell in the body contains a complete blueprint of the body. This blueprint consists of genetic information. The genetic information is encrypted in the chromosomes. Every human cell normally contains 23 chromosome pairs, i.e. a total of 46 chromosomes.
The X chromosome and the Y chromosome determine a person’s biological gender. Men normally have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Women normally have 2 X chromosomes.
With this disorder, you have 3 X chromosomes. The condition can vary greatly in severity. It is possible to only have very mild symptoms or none at all.
For example, you can be very tall. You can also have special features in your face. This includes, for example, an extra fold of skin inside the corner of the eye.
You may also have weaker muscle tone. You may also have problems with learning or speaking. There may also be mental symptoms.
Malformations, for example of the kidneys, can also occur. There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate the blood pressure and salt content in the blood, among other things.
