Neurocognitive and behavioral development in young children (1-7 years) with Sex Chromosome Trisomy

Article Title: Neurocognitive and behavioral development in young children (1-7 years) with Sex Chromosome Trisomy

Authors: Van Rijn, Kuiper, Bouw, Urbanus, and Swaab

Date of Publication: March 6, 2023

“Study outcomes showed early behavioral symptoms in young children with SCT, and neurocognitive vulnerabilities, already from an early age onwards. Neurobehavioral and neurocognitive difficulties tended to become more pronounced with increasing age, and were rather robust; independent of specific karyotype, pre/postnatal diagnosis or ascertainment strategy.

A more longitudinal perspective on neurodevelopmental ‘at risk’ pathways is warranted, also including studies assessing effectiveness of targeted early interventions. Neurocognitive markers that signal differences in neurodevelopment may prove to be helpful in this. Focusing on early development of language, social cognition, emotion regulation, and executive functioning may help in uncovering early essential mechanisms of (later) neurobehavioral outcome, allowing for more targeted support and early intervention.”

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

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.”

Sex Chromosome Dosage Effects on White Matter

Article Title: Sex Chromosome Dosage Effects on White Matter

Authors: Warling, Yavi, Clasen, Blumenthal, Lalonde, Raznahan, and Liu

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

Date of Publication: January 17, 2023

“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.”

Understanding the phenotypic spectrum and family experiences of XYY syndrome: Important considerations for genetic counseling

Article Title: Understanding the phenotypic spectrum and family experiences of XYY syndrome: Important considerations for genetic counseling

Authors: Jodarski, Duncan, Torres, Gore, Raznahan, and Similuk

Date of Publication: January 7, 2023

“XYY syndrome is a diagnosis that has significant implications on not only the affected individual, but the family as well. It is therefore imperative that HCPs fully understand the range of lived experiences with XYY so that we can better counsel and care for affected individuals and their families.”

Deep phenotypic analysis of psychiatric features in genetically defined cohorts: application to XYY syndrome

Article Title: Deep phenotypic analysis of psychiatric features in genetically defined cohorts: application to XYY syndrome

Authors: Raznahan, Rau, Schaffer, Liu, Fish, Mankiw, Xenophontos, Clasen, Joseph, Thurm, Blumenthal, Bassett, and Torres

Date of Publication: February 20, 2023

“Across the full XYY group, we find a complex correlation between psychopathology and functioning such that the most severely impacted symptom domains are not necessarily those most predictive of adaptive functioning or caregiver strain. Finally, network modelling suggests 8 main axes of psychopathology in XYY syndrome, with core roles for overall symptom scores, inattention, and social difficulties.”

Associations of psychiatric disorders with sex chromosome aneuploidies in the Danish iPSYCH2015 dataset: a case-cohort study

“Increased risks of psychiatric disorders associated with sex chromosome aneuploidies, combined with low rates of clinical diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidies, compromise the adequate provision of necessary health care and counselling to affected individuals and their families, which might be helped by increased application of genetic testing in clinical settings.”
