An male with 47XXY karyotype is presented as an example of how various genetic and environmental (including psychosocial) factors can contribute to delayed and/or disturbed behavior.

The young preschool child's behavioral repertoire is so small, undifferentiated, and nonspecific that a variety of causes can evoke the same symptom(s) and behavior, and the danger of misdiagnosis, therefore, is great. Such disturbances may not be entirely or partially caused by a disturbed parent-child relationship.

The pediatrician is usually the first to see such a young patient and in a position to initiate appropriate referrals for a complete diagnostic work-up, including cytological, hearing, and speech studies, not only for accurate diagnosis, but also for prognosis, treatment, and parental counseling.

For questions, please contact the group.
