Penta X Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects females. It is also known as Pentasomy X or 49,XXXXX syndrome. This condition occurs when a female has five X chromosomes instead of the usual two. The additional X chromosomes are usually derived from the mother's egg.
Individuals with Penta X Syndrome may exhibit a range of physical and developmental characteristics. These can include intellectual disability, delayed speech and language development, learning difficulties, and behavioral challenges. Some individuals may also have distinctive facial features, such as a small head circumference, low-set ears, and a broad nasal bridge.
Due to the rarity of Penta X Syndrome, there is limited information available on the specific medical complications associated with this condition. However, affected individuals may be at an increased risk for certain health issues, including congenital heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and skeletal abnormalities.
ICD-10 code for Penta X Syndrome is Q97.1. The ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). This code is used by healthcare professionals for diagnostic and billing purposes.
In the previous version of the classification system, known as ICD-9, there was no specific code for Penta X Syndrome. However, certain features or complications associated with the condition may have been assigned individual codes for billing and documentation purposes.
It is important to note that the ICD codes are regularly updated and revised to reflect advancements in medical knowledge. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult the most recent version of the ICD coding system for accurate and up-to-date information.
