'''Tetrasomy X''', '''XXXX syndrome''', '''quadruple X''', or '''48,XXXX''' is an [[intersex]] variation that occurs in [[AFAB]]/[[CTF]] individuals, in which they are born with four X chromosomes rather than only the expected two. It appears to be rare, as approximately 100 cases have been reported worldwide, however there may be unspoken cases of the past, as individuals with this variation can usually function decently, despite the physical abnormalities that co-side this variation.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrasomy_X</ref> |

They may also have an abnormal nervous system, abnormal hearing/vision, abnormal circulatory systems, and abnormal kidneys, which may classify them as physically [[disabled]]. |

Those with this variation often experience mild delays in the areas of speech development and articulation, language expression and understanding, and reading skills. Delays in motor development are also present, with walking ages ranging from 16 months to 4.5 years, which often puts those with this variation on the [[neurodivergent]] spectrum. Despite this fact, brain scans haven't shown any abnormalities within the brain of these individuals. |
