Although there is no consistent phenotype associated with such aberrations, the risk of congenital anomalies and mental retardation in the affected individual increases significantly as the number of X chromosomes increases. XXX symbol for a chromosomal aberration found in mares and cows in which there is infertility because of ovarian hypoplasia. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
