Abstract
Abstract Lipid metabolism abnormalities in children may be hereditary or secondary to certain diseases (obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus). Often elevated triglycerides values are associated with high cholesterol values, playing a major role on atherosclerosis. The triple X syndrome also called “the superfemale syndrome” is not a rare condition, but it is usually undiagnosed or occasionally diagnosed when other investigations are done. The authors present the case of a child admitted in the 3rd Clinic of Pediatrics -“Sf. Maria” Children’s Emergency Hospital, Iaşi -Romania for the continuation of her lipid metabolism investigations, being diagnosed on this occasion with the triple X syndrome. We conclude that the investigation of lipid metabolism, early identification of lipid abnormalities and proper treatment significantly reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in adults. We cannot specify the impact of the presence of the chromosomal anomaly, as it is an accidental association
