17th World Congress in Fetal Medicine A case of double aneuploidy: Trisomy 21 With XYY Sal H, Comert EH, Guvendag Guven ES, Guven S Karadeniz Technical University, School of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Trabzon, Turkey., TRABZON, Turkey Objective Chromosomal abnormalities are seen in nearly 1% of live born infants. Trisomy 21 is the most common aneuploidy seen in infants. Despite the fact that 1 in 1000 boys have the karyotype 47, XYY (XYY), approximately 85% or more of males with XYY are never diagnosed. Some infants with typical phenotypic features of Down syndrome may have rarely an additional aneuploidy (e. g. XXY, XXX, XYY). Methods We report a 19-year-old pregnancy with Down syndrome + XYY in the first trimester. Results Pregnancies with 48 XYY + 21 can be diagnosed at first trimester. This will enable early intervention to provide the adequate supportive care and management. Conclusion Down and Klinefelter syndrome(48, XXY, +21) is the most commonly described double aneuploidy and the first seen is double aneuploidy. Down syndrome and XYY association are very rare, as in our case. Fewer than 50 cases of Down syndrome with XYY have been reported until date. Non-disjunction at meiosis or post zygotic mitosis, cause aneuploidies. Non-disjunction involving two chromosome pairs in one or both parents play a role at pathophysiology of double aneuploidy. Non-disjunction during maternal meiosis I cause trisomy 21. The XYY occurs when 24YY spermatozoa are formed due to non-disjunction either at paternal meiosis II or mitosis. The disease and prognosis of fetus with double aneuploidy should explain family and termination option should be offered. In cases that do not accept the termination, common information with the pediatrician should be provided. Boys with XYY are diagnosed postnatal because of tall stature and behavioral issues. These infants can be evaluated periodically and given appropriate care for learning and behavioral needs. So it is important to recognize the XYY abnormality at the earliest..

Phenotype Manifestations of Polysomy X at Males
PHENOTYPE MANIFESTATIONS OF POLYSOMY X AT MALES Amra Ćatović* &Centre for Human Genetics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sarajevo, Čekaluša , Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * Corresponding author Abstract Klinefelter Syndrome is the most frequent form of male hypogonadism. It is an endocrine disorder based on sex chromosome aneuploidy. Infertility and gynaecomastia are the two most common symptoms that lead to diagnosis. Diagnosis of Klinefelter syndrome is made by karyotyping. Over years period (-) patients have been sent to “Center for Human Genetics” of Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo from diﬀ erent medical centres within Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with diagnosis suspecta Klinefelter syndrome, azoo- spermia, sterilitas primaria and hypogonadism for cytogenetic evaluation. Normal karyotype was found in (,) subjects, and karyotype was changed in (,) subjects. Polysomy X was found in (,) examinees. Polysomy X was expressed at the age of sexual maturity in the majority of the cases. Our results suggest that indication for chromosomal evaluation needs to be established at a very young age. KEY WORDS: polysomy X, hypogonadism, infertility Introduction Structural changes in gonosomes (X and Y) cause different distribution of genes, which may be exhibited in various phenotypes. Numerical aberrations of gonosomes have specific pattern of phenotype characteristics, which can be classified as clini- cal syndrome. Incidence of gonosome aberrations in males is / male newborn (). Klinefelter syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder associated with male hypogonadism. According to different authors incidence is / male newborns (), /- (), and even / (). Very high incidence indicates that the zygotes with Klinefelter syndrome are more vital than those with other chromosomal aberrations.

Although the most common cause is embryo aneuploidy, and despite female checkup and couple karyotyping, in about 50% of cases RPL remain unexplained. Male implication has little been investigated and results are discordant. In this context, we conducted a multi-center prospective case-control study to investigate male gamete implication in unexplained RPL. Methods: A total of 33 cases and 27 controls were included from three university hospitals. We investigated environmental and family factors with a detailed questionnaire and andrological examination, sperm characteristics, sperm DNA/chromatin status using the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and sperm aneuploidy using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The Mann-Whitney test and the Wilcoxon or Fisher exact tests were used. A non-parametric Spearman correlation was performed in order to analyze the relationship between various sperm parameters and FISH and sperm DNA fragmentation results. Results: We found significant differences between cases and controls in time to conceive, body mass index (BMI), family history of infertility and living environment.

Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies
7 Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies Eliona Demaliaj1, Albana Cerekja2 and Juan Piazze3 1Department of Obstetric-Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tirana Hospital "Mbreteresha Geraldine", Tirane 2Gynecology and Obstetrics Ultrasound Division, ASL Roma B, Rome 3Ultrasound Division, Ospedale di Ceprano/Ospedale SS. Trinità di Sora, Frosinone 1Albania 2,3Italy 1. Introduction Sex chromosome aneuploidy is defined as a numeric abnormality of an X or Y chromosome, with addition or loss of an entire X or Y chromosome. Sex chromosome mosaicism, in which one or more populations of cells have lost or gained a sex chromosome, also is common. The most commonly occurring sex chromosome mosaic karyotypes include 45,X/46XX, 46XX/47,XXX, and 46,XY/47,XXY. Less frequent are those sex chromosome abnormalities where addition of more than one sex chromosome or a structural variant of an X or Y chromosome occur. The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes in many animal species, including mammals and is common in both males and females. It is a part of the XY and X0 sex-determination system. The X chromosome in humans represents about 2000 out of 20,000 - 25,0000 genes. Normal human females have 2 X-chromosomes (XX), for a total of nearly 4000 "sex-tied" genes (many of which have nothing to do with sex, other than being attached to the chromosome that is believed to cause sexual bimorphism (or polymorphism if you count more rare variations). Men have, depending on the study, 1400-1900 fewer genes, as the Y chromosome is thought to have only the remaining genes down from an estimated 1438 -~2000 (Graves 2004).

Research Article Journal of Molecular and Genetic Volume 14:2, 2020 DOI: 10.37421/jmgm.2020.14.444 Medicine ISSN: 1747-0862 Open Access Rare Double Aneuploidy in Down Syndrome (Down- Klinefelter Syndrome) Al-Buali Majed J1*, Al-Nahwi Fawatim A2, Al-Nowaiser Naziha A2, Al-Ali Rhaya A2, Al-Khamis Abdullah H2 and Al-Bahrani Hassan M2 1Deputy Chairman of Medical Genetic Unite, Pediatrics Department, Maternity Children Hospital Al-hassa, Hofuf, Saudi Arabia 2Pediatrics Resident, Pediatrics Department, Maternity Children Hospital Alhassa, Hofuf, Saudi Arabia Abstract Background: The chromosomal aneuploidy described as Cytogenetic condition characterized by abnormality in numbers of the chromosome. Aneuploid patient either trisomy or monosomy, can occur in both sex chromosomes as well as autosome chromosomes. However, double aneuploidies involving both sex and autosome chromosomes relatively a rare phenomenon. In present study, we reported a double aneuploidy (Down-Klinefelter syndrome) in infant from Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: In the present investigation, chromosomal analysis (standard chromosomal karyotyping) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed according to the standard protocols. Results: Here, we report a single affected individual (boy) having Saudi origin, suffering from double chromosomal aneuploidy. The main presenting complaint is the obvious dysmorphic features suggesting Down syndrome. Chromosomal analysis and FISH revealed 48,XXY,+21, show the presence of three copies of chromosome 21, two copies of X chromosome and one copy of Y chromosome chromosomes. Conclusion: Patients with Down syndrome must be tested for other associated sex chromosome aneuploidies. Hence, proper diagnosis is needed for proper management and the cytogenetic tests should be performed as the first diagnostic approach.

Double Aneuploidy in Down Syndrome
Chapter 6 Double Aneuploidy in Down Syndrome Fatma Soylemez Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/60438 Abstract Aneuploidy is the second most important category of chromosome mutations relat‐ ing to abnormal chromosome number. It generally arises by nondisjunction at ei‐ ther the first or second meiotic division. However, the existence of two chromosomal abnormalities involving both autosomal and sex chromosomes in the same individual is relatively a rare phenomenon. The underlying mechanism in‐ volved in the formation of double aneuploidy is not well understood. Parental ori‐ gin is studied only in a small number of cases and both nondisjunctions occurring in a single parent is an extremely rare event. This chapter reviews the characteristics of double aneuploidies in Down syndrome have been discussed in the light of the published reports. Keywords: Double aneuploidy, Down Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, Chromo‐ some abnormalities 1. Introduction With the discovery in 1956 that the correct chromosome number in humans is 46, the new area of clinical cytogenetic began its rapid growth. Several major chromosomal syndromes with altered numbers of chromosomes were reported, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). Since then it has been well established that chromosome abnormalities contribute significantly to genetic disease resulting in reproductive loss, infertility, stillbirths, congenital anomalies, abnormal sexual development, mental retardation and pathogenesis of malignancy [1].

ABSTRACT Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans with an estimated incidence of one case in 770 live births. However, the occurrence of double aneuploidy involving autosome and or sex chromosome is a very rare phenomenon in lives born and the majority of reported cases are presented in form of spontaneous abortions. Here, we are reporting a case of a Rwandan patient with combination of trisomy 21 and triple X syndrome. The proband was 8-month-old female with typical features of Down syndrome. In additional to Down syndrome features, the child presented with minor features of triple X syndrome characterized by hypotonia and seizures.
