title: Sex chromosome disorders.
abstract: A critical and comprehensive review of the major sex chromosome disorders. The introduction briefly outlines the cytogenetic background to these disorders and refers to earlier reviews. The paper then reviews the clinical and psychiatric aspects of the various chromosome disorders. Male and female phenotypes are dealt with separately, with emphasis on psychological and behavioural manifestations including antisocial behaviour. Medico-legal implications are also reviewed, as are the implications for research.
