“…Similar to individuals with XXY, the general intelligence is usually in the normal range, with the mean slightly shifted to the left (Bender et al, 1984; Netley, 1986) and with possible deficits in verbal IQ relative to comparison groups (Leggett et al, 2010). Moreover, as in XXY syndrome, boys with XYY have an increased risk of delayed and impaired language development (Bender et al, 1984; Ratcliffe, 1982; Ross et al, 2009), hyperactivity and attention problems (Ruud et al, 2005), and consequent learning difficulties (Bender et al, 1984; Netley, 1986; Ross et al, 2009). Linden and Bender (2002) registered a delayed motor development and lack of motor coordination, that was confirmed by Ross et al (2009), but that appeared to be less pervasive than in XXY.…”
