Inspired by the story of a remarkable boy born with an extra 47th X chromosome, My XXY | Chromodiversity™ Foundation was established in 2020 in Tempe, AZ as a US non-profit organization. Initially focused on XXY, we broadened scope in 2021 to all X&Y chromosome variations and other genetic differences. 

Chromodiversity refers to genetic code differences in people’s DNA. Just as ‘biodiversity’ refers to the diversity of life and ‘neurodiversity’ to the diversity of brains, chromodiversity is a way to talk about the diversity of human genetic codes in a natural way. We introduced the term in 2022 as a way to depathologize the language of genetics at a time of increased screening and early diagnoses. 

Since then, the chromodiversity movement  has rapidly become one of the most trusted and effective voices dedicated to changing the way the world perceives and supports genetic diversity. Guided by an Advisory Board of visionary leaders & a global team of Brand Ambassadors, My XXY | Chromodiversity foundation is represented in over 30 countries & 10 US states.
