Abstract
Summary: A case of schizophrenia in a 47,XYY male diagnosed according to strict phenomenologicai criteria is presented. The authors suggest that the 47,XYY chromosome anomaly should be added to the list of possible causes of symptomatic schizophrenia, and express the hope that future investigations of the effects of an extra Y chromosome on brain function will yield clues as to the aetiology of idiopathic schizophrenia.Keywords
