But
some people have an extra X chromosome, which gives them <STRONG>Klinefelter
syndrome</STRONG>. People with this condition are usually male and have lower

are more aggressive and are more likely to be physically abusive. Arthur
Shawcross was found to be an XXY male. Klinefelter syndrome occurs in between
<BR />1 in 500 and 1 in 1,000 births [source: <A href="http://howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=serial-killer.htm&url=http://anthro.palomar.edu/abnormal/abnormal_5.htm">Palomar College</A>]. So
