XYY sex chromosomes in a Jamaican with orthopaedic abnormalities.

چکیده
Patients with a sex chromosome complement of XYY in whom the physical findings vary from apparent normal maleness, to genital anomalies, mental defect, and criminal tendencies have been described by several authors. The one common feature in the adult cases has been tallness. We here report an adult male with an XYY complement who, in addition to mental defect, hypogonadism, and increased height showed interesting orthopaedic abnormalities.

Infantile autism and 47,XYY karyotype.
Dra. Evelyn Kuczynski – Rua Borges Lagoa 1080/908 04038-002 São Paulo SP Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] There is growing evidence that genetic and chromosomal factors are important in the genesis of autism spectrum disorders. The most commonly reported cytogenetic abnormalities are deletions involving chromosomes 7q, 22q13, 2q37, 18q, and Xp, as well as sex chromosome aneuplodies (47,XYY...
متن کاملChildhood acne in a boy with XYY syndrome.
A 3-year-old boy was referred to the dermatology department with a 12-month history of facial erythema associated with a papular-pustular facial eruption consistent with childhood acne. He had been diagnosed with XYY syndrome identified during genetic analysis for cardiac anomalies at birth. XYY syndrome is an aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes which affects 1 in 1000 male births. It is often as...
متن کاملDetection of sex chromosome abnormalities by nuchal translucency screening at 10-14 weeks.
At 10-14 weeks of gestation more than 80 per cent of fetuses affected by trisomy 21 can be detected by a screening programme based on a combination of maternal age and fetal nuchal translucency thickness (NT). The screen positive group in such a programme also identifies fetuses with sex chromosome abnormalities. In this ongoing multicentre screening study, involving 61,972 singleton pregnancie...
متن کاملSperm aneuploidy and meiotic sex chromosome configurations in an infertile XYY male.
BACKGROUND There is little information regarding the behaviour of the extra Y chromosome during meiosis I in men with 47,XYY karyotypes and the segregation of the sex chromosomes in sperm. We applied immunofluorescent and FISH techniques to study the relationship between the sex chromosome configuration in meiotic germ cells and the segregation pattern in sperm, both isolated from semen samples...
متن کاملConstitution of semen samples from XYY and XXY males as analysed by in-situ hybridization.
A brightfield microscopical in-situ hybridization (ISH) technique was applied to semen samples of two 47,XYY males, one 46,XY/47,XXY/XXY male with fertility problems, and two normal 46,XY men, who served as controls. The use of a standardized nuclear DNA decondensation method, together with double-target ISH and morphological staining, allowed an accurate study of the sex chromosomal content an...
