E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to develop a single-nucleotide polymorphism-based and informatics-based non-invasive prenatal test that detects sex chromosome aneuploidies early in pregnancy. Methods Sixteen aneuploid samples, including thirteen 45,X, two 47,XXY, and one 47,XYY, along with 185 euploid controls, were analyzed. Cell-free DNA was isolated from maternal plasma, amplified in a single multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay that targeted 19 488 polymorphic loci covering chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y, and sequenced. Sequencing results were analyzed using a Bayesian-based maximum likelihood statistical method to determine copy number of interrogated chromosomes, calculating sample-specific accuracies. Results Of the samples that passed a stringent quality control metric (93%), the algorithm correctly identified copy number at all five chromosomes in all but one of the 187 samples, for 934/935 correct calls as early as 9.4 weeks of gestation. We detected 45,X with 91.7% sensitivity (CI: 61.5–99.8%) and 100% specificity (CI: 97.9–100%), and 47,XXY and 47,XYY. The average calculated accuracy was 99.78%.

Although previously hospitalised in other medical centres, only psychological support had been recommended for this patient. In our department, genetic, biochemical/hormonal and ultrasound examinations were undertaken. The karyotype was 49,XXXXY, a rare aneuploidy with an incidence of 1/85 000–100 000, characterised by the presence of three extra X chromosomes in phenotypically male subjects. The hormonal/biochemical profile showed hypergonadotropic hypogonad- ism, insulin resistance and vitamin D deficiency. The patient was then treated with testosterone replacement therapy. After 12 months of treatment, we observed the normalisation of testosterone levels. There was also an increase

  • 49,XXXXY Syndrome
    49,XXXXY syndrome Description 49,XXXXY syndrome is a chromosomal condition in boys and men that causes intellectual disability, developmental delays, physical differences, and an inability to father biological children (infertility). Its signs and symptoms vary among affected individuals. Boys and men with 49,XXXXY syndrome have mild or moderate intellectual disability with learning difficulties. Speech and language development is particularly affected. Most affected boys and men can understand what other people say more easily than they themselves can speak. People with 49,XXXXY syndrome tend to be shy and friendly, but problems with speech and communication can contribute to behavioral issues, including irritability, difficulty tolerating frustration, defiant behavior, and outbursts or temper tantrums. 49,XXXXY syndrome is also associated with weak muscle tone (hypotonia) and problems with coordination that delay the development of motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and walking. Affected infants and young boys are often shorter than their peers, but some catch up in height later in childhood or adolescence. Other physical differences associated with 49,XXXXY syndrome include abnormal fusion of certain bones in the forearm (radioulnar synostosis), an unusually large range of joint movement (hyperextensibility), elbow abnormalities, curved pinky fingers (fifth finger clinodactyly), and flat feet (pes planus). Affected individuals have distinctive facial features that can include widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), outside corners of the eyes that point upward (upslanting palpebral fissures), skin folds covering the inner corner of the eyes (epicanthal folds), and a flat bridge of the nose. Dental abnormalities are also common in this disorder. 49,XXXXY syndrome disrupts male sexual development.

  • 48,XXYY Syndrome
    Case Report A rare sex chromosome aneuploidy: 48,XXYY syndrome Tahir Atik, Özgür Çoğulu, Ferda Özkınay Department of Pediatrics, Ege University School of Medicine, İzmir, Turkey Abstract 48,XXYY syndrome is a rare sex chromosome abnormality. Although some physical features are similar to Klinefelter syndrome(47,XXY), 48,XXYY is typically associated with different neuropsyhciatric symptoms and phenotypic findings. Approximately 100 cases with 48,XXYY have been re- ported to date. In this report, a patient who was diagnosed with 48,XXYY syndrome with clincal evaluation and cytogenetic analysis is presented. A 6-year old male patient was hospitalized due to recurrent respiratory tract infections, recurrent abdominal distention and dyspepsia. He was the first and only child of nonconsanguineous parents. He had a history of mild developmental retardation. In his history, it was learned that he received treatment for gastroesophageal reflux and his symptoms improved with treatment. On physical examination, his weight was found to be 31 kg (>97 centile) and his height was found to be 123 cm (90 centile). He had upslanted palpebral fissures, depressed nasal bridge, long philtrum, incomplete cleft lip and micrognathia. Clinodactilia was found in the fifth fingers in both hands and large big toes and adduction in the second and third toes were found in both feet. Karyotype analysis showed a chromosomal composition of 48,XXYY. The patient presented here is the second Turkish case of 48,XXYY syndrome.

  • XXYY Syndrome Summary
    XXYY Syndrome Summary Epidemiology There is an estimated incidence of 48,XXYY in 1/18,000 to 1/50,000 male births. Clinical description 48,XXYY syndrome is often described as a variant of Klinefelter syndrome (see term) as it shares a similar physical phenotype (tall stature and small, dysfunctional testes), however the medical and neurodevelopmental features are more complex than typically seen in 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome. There is an increased risk for congenital heart defects, renal abnormalities, and non- specific dysmorphic features (epicanthal folds, hypertelorism, clinodactyly). In infancy and early childhood, hypotonia is frequently observed and can be associated with motor delays, flat feet, and plagiocephaly (occipital flattening). Skeletal abnormalities including club foot, radioulnar synostosis, prominent elbows with cubitus varus, scoliosis, and kyphosis can be present. Many medical conditions are more frequent in 48,XXYY syndrome including epilepsy (~15%), tremor (~60% of adults), asthma/allergies (~60%), strabismus (~15%), scoliosis (~25%), significant dental problems (~90%), gastrointestinal problems (feeding intolerance, reflux, constipation), thrombosis (~18%), and type 2 diabetes (~20% in adulthood). Testicular hypogonadism is nearly universal starting in adolescence and persisting in adulthood. Hypogonadism is associated with low testosterone production and infertility. Cryptorchidism, micropenis, and gynecomastia have been reported but are not present in the majority. 48,XXYY syndrome also presents with more significant cognitive impairments and behavior challenges compared to 47,XXY. Developmental delays are often present in the first 3 years of life in the areas of speech and motor development. Overall cognitive abilities tend to be in the borderline range (70 – 80) with approximately 1/3 of males with 48,XXYY with full scale IQ in the intellectual disability range.

Case characteristics: We present here a case of 45-days-old male child having 49,XXXXY with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. Conclusion: The presence of congenital heart defects in subjects with 49,XXXXY syndrome suggests special attention be given to the cardiac evaluation. Keywords 49,XXXXY; sex chromosome aneuploidy; cardiac anomalies; developmental delay Introduction The 49,XXXXY syndrome, is a rare sex chromosomal aneuploidy with an incidence of 1 in 85,000 male births. 49,XXXXY syndrome, irst reported in 1960, was considered a Klinefelter variant until 1998, when it was delineated as a distinct phenotype [1]. Clinical manifestations of 49,XXXXY include intellectual deicit, hypogonadism, remarkable facial dysmorphism (hypertelorism, large lat nose with a depressed nasal curvature, upslanting palpebral issures, epicanthus, prognathism, folded-over ears, short neck) and other dysmorphic characteristics (cubitus valgus, lat feet, clinodactyly of the ifth inger, joint laxity) appear frequently. Congenital heart defects (arterial canal) as well as skeletal defects (radioulnar synostosis, epiphyseal dysplasia, coxa valga, kyphoscoliosis, hip and knee dislocation), cerebral (hypoplastic corpus callosum, arhinencephaly) and renal defects (renal hypoplasia) can also be present.
