Seamus: "I was born with an extra chromosome"

Congratulations to Seamus for this intimate and informative interview with ABC. Seamus has 47,XXY, also termed Klinefelter syndrome, which is a common genetic trait - but diagnosis rates are low, so many people don't know they have it.

"Most people don't get diagnosed until they're in their late 20s or early 30s when they're trying to have a kid, for example"

Seamus talks about how finding a specialist doctor, knowledgeable about 47,XXY, was lifesaving. Testosterone works for very many men with 47,XXY, while other people with 47,XXY can benefit from other forms of medication.

Find out more about 47,XXY on the InterLink Resource Hub.
