Summary

Two subjects are described suffering from longlasting behavioral disorders, who appeared to have both an abnormal karyotype, 47XXY and 47XYY respectively. The relationship between psychopathological disorders and the type of karyotypes is discussed. It is concluded that both biological and environmental factors are involved in the development of behavioral disorders that are observed frequently in this kind of subjects.
