Written by one of KS&A’s long-time members, Virginia Isaacs Cover, the book provides a lifespan approach to the three trisomy conditions, Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and 47,XYY Syndrome, as well as their less common tetrasomy and pentasomy variations. Ms. Cover draws on her years of experience as the parent of a young adult with 47,XXY, as an advocate, and as a social worker involved with children and adults with developmental disabilities, to research psychosocial and medical issues affecting this population. 

The 200 pages of the guide provide clear explanations of the genetics involved in the conditions, as well as diagnosis and disclosure, development from infancy through early adulthood, potential health issues, and educational and psychosocial considerations.
