A genome-first study of sex chromosome aneuploidies provides evidence of Y chromosome dosage effects on autism risk

Article Title: A genome-first study of sex chromosome aneuploidies provides evidence of Y chromosome dosage effects on autism risk

Authors: Berry, Finucane, Myers, Walsh, Seibert, Martin, Ledbetter, and Oetjens

“In this study, we examined four SCAs in the SPARKMC-SCA cohort to explore how variations in sex chromosome dosage impact ASD risk. In our primary analysis examining the association between SCAs and ASD, we found the extra Y effect was significantly larger than the extra X effect. This conclusion was drawn from our observation that individuals with 47,XYY showed a 2.4-fold higher risk of ASD compared to those with 46,XY, and supported by our observation that individuals with 47,XXY were at a 4.6-fold higher risk compared to those with 46,XX.”

An extra X chromosome among adult women in the Million Veteran Program: A more benign perspective of trisomy X

Article Title: An extra X chromosome among adult women in the Million Veteran Program: A more benign perspective of trisomy X

Authors: Davis, Teerlink, Lynch, Klamut, Gorman, Pagadala, Panizzon, Merritt, Genovese, Ross, and Hauger

Date of Publication: February 10, 2024

“…this study of predominately undiagnosed and aging women with 47,XXX in the MVP found differences in prevalence by genetic ancestry but few differences in sociodemographic, health, and wellbeing outcomes when compared with sex-, age-, and ancestry-matched controls. While existing trisomy X literature emphasizes an increased risk for multiple malformations and disorders among various organ systems, these studies have been conducted in clinically ascertained individuals. Overall, our results provide a more reassuring outlook for females with 47,XXX while also highlighting additional research needs.”

Evidence‑based recommendations for delivering the diagnosis of X&Y chromosome multisomies in children, adolescents, and young adults

Article Title: Evidence‑based recommendations for delivering the diagnosis of X & Y chromosome multisomies in children, adolescents, and young adults: an integrative review

Authors: Riggan, Ormond, Allyse, and Close

Date of publication: April 22, 2024

“Patient experiences suggest there should be heightened attention to diagnosis delivery, in reference to the broader ethical and social impacts of a SCM diagnosis. We present recommendations for optimal disclosure of a SCM diagnosis in early and late childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood.”

Sex chromosome aneuploidies and fertility: 47,XXY, 47,XYY, 47,XXX and 45,X/47,XXX

“Assisted reproductive technology, especially micro-testicular sperm extraction, has an important role, especially for those with 47,XXY; however, more recent data show promising techniques for the in vitro maturation of spermatogonial stem cells and 3D organoids in culture. Assisted reproductive technology is more complex for the female, but vitrification of oocytes has shown promising advances.”

The emotional journey of adapting to prenatally identified trisomy X

Article Title: The emotional journey of adapting to prenatally identified trisomy X

Authors: Thompson, Tisher, Davis, Miller, Kirk, Tartaglia, and Howell

Date of Publication: August 19, 2023

“Results suggest providers should carefully consider word choice and timing in delivery of diagnosis, and genetic counseling should provide expectant parents with current research specific to trisomy X, facilitate connections with other parents of young girls with trisomy X, introduce developmental monitoring approaches, and be prepared to support families with a range of emotional responses to the diagnosis and decisions regarding disclosure.”

Sex Chromosome Dosage Effects on White Matter

Date of Publication: June 12, 2021

“These findings represent the most complete maps of X- and Y-chromosome effects on human white matter to date, and show how such changes connect to psychopathological symptoms and gray matter anatomy.”

Eosinophilic esophagitis in individuals with sex chromosome aneuploidies: Clinical presentations and management implications

Article Title: Eosinophilic esophagitis in individuals with sex chromosome aneuploidies: Clinical presentations and management implications

Authors: Howell, Buchanan, Davis, Miyazawa, Furuta, Tartaglia, and Nguyen

Date of Publication: September 9, 2021

“The findings of this chart review demonstrate the importance for the community affected by SCA conditions to have an increased awareness of the variable presentations of eosinophilic esophagitis (including coping strategies), especially among different age groups and in the context of neurodevelopmental problems, the need for specific screening for EoE symptoms, and referral to GI for evaluation and treatment. Such clinical knowledge and action can facilitate diagnosing EoE as early as possible and improve quality of life, symptom management, and limit progression of severity for patients.”

Association of Supernumerary Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies With Venous Thromboembolism

“Adults with supernumerary sex chromosome aneuploidies compared with 2 sex chromosomes had a small but statistically significant increased risk of VTE. Further research is needed to understand the clinical implications of this association.”
