Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

Other Sex Chromosome Variations

45 X is a genetic disorder affecting some women and girls. It might cause problems with hearing, vision and infertility, but usually not with intellectual ability. Treatment with hormones can help deal with some of the problems.

46 XX(y) Phenotypically there are three groups of sex-reversed 46,XX individuals. The first classical group includes phenotypically normal XX males, while the second and third groups consist of those with varying forms of genital ambiguity.

46 XX/46 XY  is an exceptionally rare chimeric genetic condition characterized by the presence of some cells that express a 46,XX karyotype and some cells that express a 46,XY karyotype in a single human being.

47 XYY  is caused by having an extra copy of the Y chromosome in every cell of the body. Diagnosis can be made based on prenatal tests, or it may occur during childhood or adulthood if a male has signs or symptoms

48 XXYY  is a chromosomal variation that causes infertility, developmental and behavioural issues, as well as other health problems

48,XXXY  often compared with 47,XXY because of shared features including tall stature and hypogonadism, 48,XXYY, 48,XXXY and 49,XXXXY are associated with additional physical findings, congenital differences, medical problems and psychological features.

Incidence of Sex Chromosome Variations. Knowledge on the prevalence of Sex Chromosome Variations are limited, where delayed diagnosis or non-diagnosis are a continuous concern. We aimed to investigate change over time in incidence, prevalence and age at diagnosis among  XO, XXY, XXX and XYY’s
