Re: Do supermodels have higher chance of genetic abnormality?

I don't think that there is any data suggesting that supremodels have 
any genetic abnormality. They may have problems derived from the 
need to maintain an unusual body from through dieting. 

Also, having an extra X chromosome won't lead to an exceptionally 
attractive woman - this is confusing biology with culture - remember 
supermodels in other cultures do not necessarily look like Cindy 
Crawford.

In fact, unusual numbers of chromosomes invariably cause 
problems. Three copies of chromosome 21 lead to Down's 
syndrome for example. 

XXX has minimal effects. They tend to to be tall (perhaps where the 
supremodel association comes in) and while  it is difficult to make 
generalizations, girls with 47, XXX are “at risk for difficulties in the 
development of language, neuromotor, and learning skills, and for 
impaired psychosocial adaptation."
