Welcome to The XYY Man guide at TV.com. Based on a novel by Kenneth Royce, The XYY Man tells the adventures of a former cat burglar named William 'Spider' Scott. British Intelligence decide he will be useful to them and recruit him into their ranks. The XYY Man has 8 ratings and 2 reviews. Gloria said: 3 in 1 book, Odhams Press. Including “Never had a spanner on her”, “This perfect day”. This case report describes a young man with a 47, XYY karyotype who was convicted of arson. He suffered from a cardiac disorder which may well have been part of the XYY syndrome rather than a chance association. His abnormal karyotype was disclosed in court and used by the defence in a plea in. The XYY Man featured the character of William (or Willie) 'Spider' Scott, a one-time cat-burglar who leaves prison aiming to go straight but finds his talents still to be very much in demand by both the criminal underworld and the British secret service.

Add the lure of twenty thousand quid and an enticing lady, plus as much danger as he can handle, and the rogue chromosome in the XYY Man's genetic make- up that makes him a natural criminal starts itching like crazy. Because Spider Scott nicked them himself a few years ago - and they've never been returned to their rightful owner. For the new 'owner' is Peter Thresher, well- respected head of a Royal Commission on Prison Reform, and Spider is his guest. But then Thresher turns out to be a character who is not above some nasty blackmail - or a spot of rape.
And when, inevitably, the XYY Man's criminal genes get going and he jumps headlong into danger, he soon finds that the miniatures aren't the only thing that Thresher has framed.. At least, that's the norm. But there are variations: around one person in a thousand has an extra chromosome, X- X- X for women and X- Y- Y for men. And it is believed that the chromosomal variation in men might manifest in a slightly increased incidence of aggressive behaviour. But in the late- 1.
But there were some dumb people around in the '6. American mass- murderer Richard Speck claimed in his defence that, since he had been born with an X- Y- Y chromosomal make- up, he was somehow predestined to kill eight student nurses. It was an ingenious defence but it floundered on two key issues: (1) there's no evidence that the X- Y- Y combination leads directly to criminal behaviour, and (2) it wasn't even true in his case - he had your bog- standard X- Y chromosomes.
He's a creeper (a cat- burglar) who gets recruited by British Intelligence, but who also can't resist his destiny and finds himself working for shady underworld types on a regular basis. The chromosome thing is scarcely relevant, and instead we get a seedy loner not dissimilar to Callan in his world- wearied desire to be out of the game, but kept in by external forces. I don't normally rate books set in either the intelligence world or organized crime, so it's something of a pleasure to be able to say that I quite enjoyed these. But both are strong pieces, spoiled only by the way that bits of criminal terminology are footnoted: I mean, if you don't know that the term 'Old Bill' refers to the police, you probably shouldn't be reading 1. British crime fiction. To be honest, my memory of the series is very vague, so I can't really comment, but it continues to enjoy a good reputation.

XYY syndrome - Wikipedia. For the CIE Xy. Y color model, see Xy. Y. XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a human male has an extra male (Y) chromosome, giving a total of 4. This produces a 4. XYYkaryotype, which occurs every 1 in 1,0. Some medical geneticists question whether the term . An incident in chromosome separation during anaphase II (of meiosis II) called nondisjunction can result in sperm cells with an extra copy of the Y- chromosome.
If one of these atypical sperm cells contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, the child will have an extra Y- chromosome in each of the body's cells. This can produce 4. XY/4. 7,XYY mosaics. Even the much less common 4.

This sex chromosome aneuploidy is not characterized by distinct physical features and, because there does not appear to be recognizable pattern of neurodevelopment or behavioral characteristics, the use of the term syndrome may be inappropriate. Males with an extra Y chromosome are phenotypically normal and most never come to medical attention. Pubertal development, testicular histology, and spermatogenesis are most often normal. It has generally been observed that reproductive risks for males with 4. XYY are no higher than for euploid males, despite the fact that in situ hybridization studies demonstrated a lower frequency of single Y- bearing sperm than expected and a variably higher rate of disomic XX, XY and YY spermatozoa in males with 4. XYY. Population- based studies have demonstrated that intellectual abilities tend to be slightly lower than those of siblings and matched controls and that boys with an extra Y chromosome are more likely to require educational help.
However, intelligence is usually well within the normal range. During school age, learning disabilities requiring educational intervention are present in approximately 5.

From early meiotic studies, it was concluded that the extra Y was eliminated before the spermatocyte formed, with an X- Y bivalent usually seen at diakinesis, and more recent studies support this concept. However, FISH analyses of sperm, enabling hundreds of cells to be analyzed, have shown a very small increased faction of 2. YY spermatozoa in the ejaculate of XYY men (Table 1. Thus it appears the vast majority of spermatocytes lose the extra Y before entering meiosis, a very few XYY primary spermatocytes are able to slip through and produce YY (and XY) spermatozoa. These cytogenetic findings parallel the observation that XYY men have no discernible increase in risk to have children with a sex chromosome abnormality. A true increased risk of a fraction of a per cent could be distinguished only with the greatest of difficulty when the background population risk is of a similar order of magnitude.
As for the autosomes, no convincing case exists for any increased risk for aneuploidy in the children of men with 4. XYY. To our knowledge, there is no report of a discernibly increased risk for the XYY male to have chromosomally abnormal children. A slight increase in gonosomal imbalances in sperm (Table 1. Mc.

The two other conditions, XXX and XYY, apparently have little effect on fertility; furthermore, they are not discernibly associated with any increased risk for chromosomally abnormal offspring.

Why do men commit crimes of violence? For some, the urge to violence may be inborn. The resulting individual, called a Klinefelter male, is usually retarded, unusually tall and sterile.
Erring in the other direction, however, is the XYY complement resulting in the . Jacobs' contention that an extra Y chromosome results in tall stature, mild mental retardation, and severely disordered personality characterized by violent, aggressive behavior.
We therefore planned to confirm and extend her studies. Syndrome Status for the XYYThe XXY male has long been thought to display a constellation of symptoms that makes him diagnosable; that is, he has achieved syndrome status. It would seem that the XYY male is fast achieving similar status. His symptoms, as we and other laboratories tend to think of them, are: extremely tall stature, long limbs and strikingly long arm span, facial acne, mild mental retardation, severe mental illness (including psychosis) and aggressive, antisocial behavior with a long history of arrests, frequently beginning at an early age. On reading newspaper accounts of Richard Speck, who murdered eight Chicago student nurses in 1.
Speck was a likely candidate for the XYY disorder. Independently, a cytogenetic laboratory in Chicago confirmed this hunch, reinforcing our inclination to believe that the XYY syndrome is really coming of age. It seems quite possible that in the XYY male, exemplified by Speck, biologists are describing in genetic terms a certain type of defective criminal who has long been explicitly recognized by the forensic psychiatrist.^Daniel Hugon, Paris, France^Lawrence Hannell, Melbourne, Australia^Lyons, Richard D. Pergament said he and Dr. Sato, a research fellow, had absolutely no connection with the Speck case and never examined Speck. The report was also denied by Speck's attorney, Public Defender Gerald W. Getty did say that a chromosomal test was performed on Speck, before Speck's trial, by a geneticist from outside the Chicago area.
He declined to identify the geneticist, and he said the results of the test never have been disclosed. If anything, he said, they could only be used in connection with a new trial.
