Abstract

Sex chromosome abnormalities are among the most common genetic changes. The manifestations vary and may include growth abnormalities, specific appearance features, and other endocrinological and physical disorders, but also delayed psychomotor development, learning disabilities, and psychiatric conditions including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. Increased knowledge about the relationship between sex chromosome abnormalities, development and psychiatric conditions would enable improved care of these patients.
