Description
Pentasomy X disorder is a rare chromosomal disorder that occurs in females. This disorder is characterized by the presence of five X chromosomes (49,XXXXX) instead of the usual two (46,XX). The condition occurs due to a random error during the reproductive cells formation or early embryonic development. It affects the body's physical and mental development.Causes
Pentasomy X disorder is caused by the presence of three extra X chromosomes which occur due to random errors during the division of reproductive cells in one of the parents.
