Here, to determine the consequences of Received: Jun 13, 2018 SCAs on global genome organization, we have analyzed multiple architectural features of Revised: Jul 25, 2018 chromosome organization in a comprehensive set of primary cells from SCA patients with Accepted: Aug 1, 2018 various ratios of X and Y chromosomes by use of imaging-based high-throughput chromo- some territory mapping (HiCTMap). We find that X chromosome supernumeracy does not affect the size, volume, or nuclear position of the Y chromosome or an autosomal chromo- some. In contrast, the active X chromosome undergoes architectural changes as a function of increasing X copy number as measured by a decrease in size and an increase in circularity, which is indicative of chromatin compaction. In Y chromosome supernumeracy, Y chromo- some size is reduced suggesting higher chromatin condensation. The radial positioning of chromosomes is unaffected in SCA karyotypes. Taken together, these observations document changes in genome architecture in response to alterations in sex chromosome numbers and point to trans-effects of dosage compensation on chromosome organization. INTRODUCTION Sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) are a class of genetic human (prevalence 2.5/1000) and associated with neurological, endocrine, syndromes that arise by the presence of an aberrant number of X immune, and metabolic phenotypes (Nielsen and Wohlert, 1991; and/or Y chromosomes beyond the typical XX for females and XY Linden et al., 1995; Bojesen et al., 2003; Goswami et al., 2003; for males (Disteche, 2012). Commonly studied SCAs include Turner Simpson et al., 2003; Stochholm et al., 2006; Chen et al., 2012; Link syndrome (X-monosomy in females [XO]) and Klinefelter syndrome, et al., 2013; Seminog et al., 2015; Mankiw et al., 2017). The down- which arises due to the presence of a supernumerary X chromosome stream phenotypic consequences of SCAs presumably arise from in males (XXY karyotype); other variations include XYY, XXX, the impact of atypical sex chromosome counts on genome function, and XXYY syndromes. These conditions are collectively common but genomic features of SCA remain poorly understood in humans (Bermejo-Alvarez et al., 2010; Arnold, 2012; Hughes and Rozen, 2012; Belling et al., 2017).

A recent microarray study of lympho- XXXX 1 F 24 blastoid cell lines of a range of SCA karyotypes found that Xist XXXXY 1 M 16 activity increased sharply with increasing X-chromosome dosage, XXY 1 M 16 suggesting that the X-inactivation program is initiated for each ad- ditional X chromosome (Raznahan et al., 2018).

How- ever, the higher X-chromosome count across SCAs appears to be XX 2 F 18 associated with a sublinear increase in expression of escapees, and XXX 2 F 14 a derepresssion of X-linked genes that are subject to X inactivation XXXX 2 F 11 (i.e., expression greater in XO than XXX).

Given the presence of extra copies of sex chromosomes in SCAs, XY 2 M 8 an unresolved question is whether the abnormal number of sex XYY 2 M 21 chromosomes leads to changes in the organization or spatial loca- XO 3 F 14 tion of chromosomes within the nucleus.

Interestingly, the Xi forms a distinct, condensed and spherical XXYY 3 M 13 structure (Barr body) and has a more peripheral position within the nucleus compared with the Xa chromosome (Chadwick and Willard, XY 3 M 25 2003; Bolzer et al., 2005; Teller et al., 2011).

I’ve just returned from Unique’s most recent family conference in Bristol where 150 of us parents and carers had a lovely time in workshops, meals and activities, chatting and watching our children milling around together like one big family since – although we had never met before – we have shared so many experiences in common. However in contrast I have also just met a new mum who has just moved to my area from far away with two toddlers, one with a rare joys of the internet, it is becoming easier to meet others with similar, chromosome disorder, who is starting from scratch with no even very rare, chromosome disorders around the world and to find professional, medical or social support. She reminds me of how yourself talking to them in the middle of the night about some lonely I felt when Max was newly diagnosed, when I knew no one interesting things our children share in common (obsession with with a disabled child let alone anyone with a rare chromosome catalogues, anyone?) And of course we also have an enormous disorder.

We compared the frequencies of chromosome loss and gain among five groups of subjects whose karyotypes were otherwise normal; these groups were (1) subjects studied because of multiple miscarriages, (2) parents of live borns with autosomal trisomy, (3) subjects studied because they had a relative with Down syndrome, (4) an age-matched control group of phenotypically normal adults studied for other reasons (e.g., parent of a dysmorphic child or member of a translocation family), and (5) other mostly younger and phenotypically abnormal subjects who could not be assigned to the first four groups (e.g., individuals with multiple congenital anomalies or mental retardation). No significant age, sex, or group effects were observed for autosomal loss (hypodiploidy) or gain (hyperdiploidy). Au- tosomal loss was inversely correlated with relative chromosome length, but autosomal gain was not. Sex- chromosome gain was significantly more frequent in females than in males, but sex-chromosome loss was not significantly different between the sexes. Significant age effects were observed for both gain and loss of sex chromosomes.

    HK J Paediatr (new series) 2014;19:37-40 Tetrasomy X in a Child with Multiple Abnormalities: Case Report and Literature Review from China WY XIONG, ZY JIANG, CC ZOU Abstract Polysomy of the X chromosome is a very rare disorder, and little information is available in the literature. Tetrasomy X was first reported in 1961 and only approximately 60 cases have been reported. Herein, we reported a 5-year-old girl with tetrasomy X, who presented to our clinics because of "short stature". She was born to a G2P2 mother at 39 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 3.5 kg. She started walking at 16 months of age, and speaking at 18 months. She had syndactyly in both hands and patent ductus arteriosus (0.7 cm), which were corrected by surgery soon after birth and at 7 months of age, respectively. She also had a history of epilepsy for 3 years with 4 episodes of convulsion but none in the past two years, and depakine was administered till now. She was apt to get pneumonia. She was 105 cm in height and 13 kg in weight, showing a coarse face with ocular hypertelorism and epicanthus. She presented with female external genitalia with Tanner I breast and external genitalia development. Her pelvic ultrasound showed immature uterus and ovarian. Intelligence quotient test revealed low intellectual functioning (IQ: 51). Cytogenetic investigation revealed a karyotype of 48,XXXX. These data showed that in females with intellectual disabilities, abnormal height, microcephaly, skeletal and limb anomalies, and congenital heart defects, 48,XXXX karyotype should be considered although it is an extremely rare entity.
