  • zvz commented on the word xxy-syndrome

    Your definition for "XXY-Syndrome" is outdated and not correct. Small testes and reduced sperm production is true but long legs is not necessarily true. Only 50% of XXYs have enlarged breasts. Mental retardation is absolutely not true. XXYs have normal to above normal IQ but they can suffer from learning difficulties which often result in poor grades in school.

    "XXY-syndrome in males that is characterized by small testes and long legs and enlarged breasts and reduced sperm production and mental retardation; a genetic defect in which an extra X chromosome (XXY) is present in the male"
