Syndrome 47, XXY
The 47,XYY syndrome is caused by the presence of two or more Y chromosomes in the karyotype , most often directly by the 47,XYY karyotype . It is therefore a gonosomal numerical aberration . Previously, this syndrome was referred to as "Supermale" - a term that is no longer used today. The syndrome has a minimum of clinical symptoms, men may have a taller stature and mild psychosocial disorders (most often learning disabilities). The results of older studies that linked this syndrome to aggressiveness and criminal behavior were not confirmed.[1].
