چکیده

Both the 48,XXYY and the 47,XYY chromosome anomalies are now well-recognized conditions following the first reports by Muldal and Ockey (1960) of the XXYY genotype, and Sandberg et al. (1961) who described an XYY male. This paper presents the findings in 2 patients with 47,XYY/48,XXYY mosaicism, and one patient with the 47,XYY anomaly, discovered among 250 men in a comprehensive hospital for the mentally subnormal in which there are no special security facilities. They had been selected for the investigation because of their outstanding tallness and their histories of antisocial and delinquent conduct in association with mental retardation.

The XYY anomaly has been recognized since 1961 (Dunn et al, 1961; Sandberg et al, 1961), but in contrast to other sex chromosome aneuploidies, no consistent clinical syndrome associated with it has emerged.
