“Across the full XYY group, we find a complex correlation between psychopathology and functioning such that the most severely impacted symptom domains are not necessarily those most predictive of adaptive functioning or caregiver strain. Finally, network modelling suggests 8 main axes of psychopathology in XYY syndrome, with core roles for overall symptom scores, inattention, and social difficulties.”
“Increased risks of psychiatric disorders associated with sex chromosome aneuploidies, combined with low rates of clinical diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidies, compromise the adequate provision of necessary health care and counselling to affected individuals and their families, which might be helped by increased application of genetic testing in clinical settings.”
