Research Summary for the Non-Scientist

"Our research continues to focus on human genetic disease, as follows: For 31 years we have been following a group of children with abnormalities of their sex chromosomes to study their growth and development.  These conditions occur in 1/400 newborns, and we have been developing a clearer picture of ultimate adaptability to life stresses.   We are developing ways of helping them to cope with their difficulties during adolescence, and are beginning to evaluate their problems as young adults."

Dr Robinson discusses the sex chromosome abnormalities (SCA) 47,XXY; 47,XYY; 45,X and partial monosomy X; and mosaics.
