Why are aneuploidies involving sex chromosomes less detrimental than those involving somatic chromosomes?

?Sex chromosomes do not contain genes that are important for anything other than sex determination

?Genes expression of the sex chromosomes is not dosage dependent as it is in the somatic chromosomes
