Abstract

This case report describes a young man with a 47, XYY karyotype who was convicted of arson. He suffered from a cardiac disorder which may well have been part of the XYY syndrome rather than a chance association. His abnormal karyotype was disclosed in court and used by the defence in a plea in mitigation.

摘要

本病例报告描述了一名核型为47,XYY的年轻男子，他因纵火罪被定罪。他患有心脏疾病，这很可能是XYY综合征的一部分，而非偶然关联。他的异常核型在法庭上被披露，并被辩方用于减刑抗辩。
