How To Spot Jacob's Syndrome

Many individuals are unaware of what Jacob's syndrome means, though it is easy to spot once the knowledge is there. It’s more commonly referred to as XYY Syndrome, but it’s not a common health problem. XYY Syndrome occurs when an individual does not have the typical forty-six chromosomes in their cells. There is one X chromosome, and there is one Y chromosome. In some cases, however, a male child is born with an additional Y chromosome for a total of forty-seven chromosomes. This can happen in all cells, or it can happen in only a few cells. It happens to approximately one in every one thousand male babies born.
