Oh and it was called superfemale because of height, physical appearance etc. Plus they matured too quick etc etc... If u still think i m selling crap type Superfemale sydrome in google.. It will redirect u to XXX syndrome... I see u are a retired biologist.. No wonder u have more knowledge than me.,.. But till my knowledge i m not wrong! Sorry if u felt offended!

I do not use wiki for biological terms.

Triplo X is what I am familiar with and trisomy X is something I have heard used and I called it incorrect because of the somy. X is not a somatic chromosome! XXX aneuploidy is the technical term.

I did not call you wrong and I was not offended but as a biologist it would be remiss of me not to interject in the answer/comment process. Superfemale just caught me by surprise. British affectation and all that I suppose. I don't think the term ever made it to US shores.
