Williams syndrome affects both men and women equally, as it is caused by a deletion of genetic material on chromosome 7, which occurs randomly during the formation of reproductive cells. This genetic anomaly is not linked to sex, so the prevalence is similar across genders. Overall, the incidence of Williams syndrome is approximately 1 in 7,500 to 1 in 20,000 births.

Does Klinefelter's syndrome affect a particular population or race?

No race is more likely to spontaneously have issues with meiosis, and as Klinefelter's is not hereditary (anyone with it is infertile and cannot pass on genes) no race will become more likely to have Klinefelter's syndrome. The population of older women who have children is more likely to have Klinefelter's babies. Older women are less likely to miscarry a baby with a chromosomal defect, so more Klinefelter's babies are born to them.
