Trisomy X, also known as triple X syndrome and characterized by the karyotype [note 1] 47,XXX, is a chromosome disorder in which a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome. It is relatively common and occurs in 1 in 1,000 females, but is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it.
In 1959, five days after Jérôme Lejeune described the trisomy-21 [3] in Down syndrome, basing himself off Marthe Gautier's work, [4] Jacobs and John Strong described an additional X chromosome in male patients (the 47,XXY karyotype) [5] also known as Klinefelter syndrome, as Harry Klinefelter had already diagnosed the symptoms in 1942.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. [1] The average IQ in males with FXS is under 55, while about two thirds of affected females are intellectually disabled.
Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,XO, [note 1] is a chromosomal disorder in which cells have only one X chromosome or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.
46, XX male syndrome, also known as de la Chapelle syndrome In this list, the karyotype is summarized by the number of chromosomes, followed by the sex chromosomes present in each cell. (In the second and third cases the karyotype varies from cell to cell, while in the last three cases, the genotype is normal but the phenotype is not.)

The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, equivalent to the mental age of an 8- or 9-year-old child, but this number varies widely. [3] At the same time, they enjoy a rich social and emotional awareness. [4] Down syndrome is the most common chromosome abnormality in humans, [3] occurring in about one per 1000 babies born each ...
