Abstract
The XYY chromosome abnormality is a frequently encountered numerical chromosome abnormality characterized by behavioral problems, developmental retardation and average or lower than average intelligence. A strong association with epilepsy has not been reported for the XYY anomaly unlike other chromosomal abnormalities where concurrence with seizures or epilepsy has been reported in a few studies. In this manuscript, we describe a patient with XYY karyotype, mild mental retardation and epilepsy.
