Chromosomally Speaking, X-Men Exist | Gareth Landy | TEDxAungierSt

When Gareth and his wife decided to have a family in 2017, they learned about a genetic condition called Klinefelter Syndrome or XXY. Gareth speaks about some of the traits of this common but often undiagnosed condition and how we as a society need to talk more openly about male factor infertility. Growing up, Gareth didn’t think about his genetic makeup. It wasn’t until he and his wife decided to have a family that they learned how an extra X chromosome would impact their plans. Gareth speaks about XXY and what it means to be a father and how we as a society can break the taboo of male infertility.
