As many as one in 500 men may carry an extra sex chromosome — either an X or a Y — but very few of them likely know about it...
The research, published June 9 in the journal Genetics in Medicine(opens in new tab), included data from more than 207,000 men who provided information to the U.K. Biobank, a repository of genetic and health data from half a million U.K.-based participants. Typically, males carry one X- and one Y-shaped sex chromosome in each of their cells, but among the study participants, there were 213 men who carried an extra X chromosome and 143 that had an extra Y.
Very few of these men either reported being diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality or had such an abnormality noted in their medical records: Of the XXY men, only 23% had a known diagnosis, and just 0.7% of the XYY men had a diagnosis. (The potential symptoms of having an extra Y chromosome can be very subtle, which may somewhat explain the difference in diagnosis rates, according to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center(opens in new tab).)...
Previous estimates suggested that roughly 100 to 200 men out of every 100,000 are XXY, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute(opens in new tab), and an estimated 18 to 100 out of every 100,000 were thought to be XYY, the authors noted in their report.
In all, about 0.17% of the study participants had an extra sex chromosome, or about one in 580. However, the rate observed in the study might be slightly lower than that among the general population, the study authors noted in their report. That’s because U.K. Biobank volunteers tend to be healthier than the general population and have a lower-than-average incidence of genetic conditions.

I bought stock in Chuch Barris Enterprises - my very first stab at investing in stocks - doubled my money, then sold it.
It is far more than 1 in 500 carrying the those special Chromed 9mm compact handguns, especially here in Texas.
That article appears to contradict itself many times, concerning the meanings of the surveys findings.
Perhaps I’m not reading it correctly.
I know someone who has that.
My lawyer called it ALIMONY.
I know about mine. I keep them in the same pocket as my Swiss Army knife.
Yeah, celebrities are often celebrated only for being celebrities. I’d never heard of Jaye P. Morgan until the Gong Show, either, and she was in her 40s by that time. :^)
So what is the practical difference in having an XXY or an XYY. Hermaphroditism? Having two like Stacy Brown?

Is this how they’re going to rationalize homosexuals as being “normal”?
I doubt there’s any correlation with homosexuality.
"He was a mongoloid, mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid, mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see."
“I doubt there’s any correlation with homosexuality.”
Oh ... I totally doubt it, too. I’m just wondering if that’s how they’ll try to rationalize deviant sexual behavior.
Back before boob jobs were ubiquitous.😁
Apparently she’s still alive at 90 years old.🤔
Well I have 8 children. All healthy.
It’s not hereditary. Each sperm carries the normal chromosomes.
Apparently I’m a descendant of the same middle eastern guy born ~3000 years ago as most all the known Cohens.
So either it’s a really old lie or true.
My job application for the Temple hasn’t been processed. Seems there’s some kind of delay.
Thanks for the answer, kind of personal. But fascinating biology.
I sometimes joke on Twitter that I’m a transitioning MF to FM hermaphrodite with gender dysphoria. The Lefties don’t know what to do with that one.
Lack of scientific support never stopped them before. And now China is doing it themselves, too. Locking down Shanghai, despite all the proof that lock-downs are ineffective and harmful. Left-wingers are like lemmings.
Or a wee wee
