Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Trisomy. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles) The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine. Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

I've taken a stab at making this more readable, and deleting the table from a dated article on survival rates. There's a lot more that needs to be done, including deleting repetition in section on human trisomies. -- 75.34.28.215 ( talk) 01:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Funny you mention but I was wondering about trisomy survival - aren't there fairly normal people with XXX? Are there a few chromosomes that can be tripled up and it's no big deal? Do they have children who survive? just curious. OsamaBinLogin ( talk) 03:39, 13 August 2013 (UTC) reply

Would you define klinefelter syndrome as a trisomy? I haven't found any articles to prove the existence of the term "trisomy of sex chromosomes".

X and Y chromosomes are not identical, they're different chromosomes which belong in a group of "sex chromosomes".

Hence I think we cannot use the term "trisomy of sex chromosomes". Better term: Sex chromosome abnormalities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sav vas ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 3 September 2012 (UTC) reply
