inflammation

quote from our embryology textbook:

"Although mental retardation is not generally part of the syndrome, the more X chromosomes there are, the more likely there will be some degree of mental impairment."

(i suppose it should be said that this sentence comes in the context of klinefelter's syndrome, which is when you have extra sex chromosomes in boys, like XXY or XXXY)
