    An epicanthic fold, the skin fold of the upper eyelid covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye, may be present based on various factors, including ancestry, age, and certain medical conditions. In some populations the trait is almost universal, specifically in East Asians and Southeast Asians, where a majority, up to 90% in some ...

    Mosaic trisomy X can have different outcomes to the non-mosaic condition and further contributes to the variability seen in Trisomy X. [14] Common mosaic forms observed include 46,XX/47,XXX, 45,X/47,XXX (with a Monosomy X cell line), and 47,XXX/48,XXXX (with a tetrasomy X cell line). Complex mosaicism, with cell lines such as 45,X/46,XX/47,XXX ...
