    I think Odette may have meant 1 in 500. It's definitely not 1 in 5. Do a few web searches to get a feel for the approximate ratio.

    sorry missed a few zeros
    yep one in 500- which is still pretty common- sorry late nights grr
    its a totally livable syndrome that for most people doesn't stop them living normal heathly lives- except for the reproductive side
    its not herediatry but apparaently happens when the mother is around 10 - 12 weeks pg the chromosone just attach an xtra chomosome onto them- just one of those things.
    technology and new testosterone therapy is also helping these boys/men
