Can you please tell me what 47XYY is?

>>>Braind dead at the moment but its an extra chromosome of the male sex hormone Y. Girls are XX, boys are XY, Sam is XYY, so extra male. Not hereditary - 'blip' during first 6 weeks gestation. They stopped naming genetic anomalys after the person that discovered them and its simply called 47XYY. Discovered in 1984

Incidcations:

Slow to walk

Slow to talk

Very tall/big for age - growth spurts at 4-7 years

Tendency to lanky rather than heavy frame

Hairy

'Hard to rear' (deemed to be result of frustration because of speech delay)

Can be loners

Most XYYer's are unDx - frequency in population more than 1:850 males.

If we re-read now the stuff we had from the consultant in genetics at Southampton - an XYY profile screams AS.

I have been on XYY lists where I would bet my last buck the kids would be helped by the same stuff ASDers are but they won't take a blind bit of notice because they have a 'genetic' Dx. I don't go there anymore they made frustrated. Many of them are unDx ASD too IMHO BTW, thats put down to genetics and the XYY Dx too.

If you plug 47XYY in a search engine it will tell you large numbers of the prison population are XYY and that your child will end up a voilent jailbird..............

Turn that on its head and say large numbers of prison population have AS traits and behaviours and you can believe that in a minute...............

I have 'Dx' two of them locally - you knw you go tto playgroup and there is the kid who looks like an overgrown baby at 6 years and then you talk to mum and find out the kid is 18 months old................go to the special school in early years or reception class and there is always at least one really huge/tall kid - he's the XYYer if you ask me

Migraine - back to bed, catch you later if any Q's, thats all I can think of for now
