  Sex Chromosomal Aneuploidies (SCAs) are the most frequently occurring chromosomal abnormalities with an incidence of 1 in 450 births. Males with SCAs are known to have variability in their developmental profile. Aim of this paper is to illustrate clinical variability in the different SCAs. The sample was composed by 53 subjects (mean age=21.16 years, range: 13-54) with karyotype 47, XXY (73%), 49, XXXXY (7%), 48, XXYY (9%), mosaicism 47, XXY/48, XXXY (2%), 47, XYY (5%), 48, XXXY (2%), 49, XXXYY (2%).
