Positive predictive value of noninvasive prenatal testing for sex chromosome abnormalities

Article Title: Positive predictive value of noninvasive prenatal testing for sex chromosome abnormalities

Authors: Guo, Cai, Lin, Xue, Huang, and Xu

Date of Publication: August 12, 2022

A clinic had 47,855 patients undergo NIPT (noninvasive prenatal testing). They found that the positive predictive value (PPV) for sex chromosome abnormalities was 36.9%. The PPV in patients aged 30–34 years was significantly higher than that in patients aged < 30 years.

Klinefelter Syndrome: What should we tell prospective parents?

Article Title: Klinefelter Syndrome: What should we tell prospective parents?

Authors: White, Zacharin, Fawcett, and McGillivray

Date of Publication: October 12, 2022

“With increasing uptake of antenatal noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a corresponding increase in identification of KS has been documented. Population-based longitudinal data from infancy to adulthood on these individuals is lacking, which impedes balanced antenatal genetic counselling and raises issues for prospective parents and clinicians alike.”

Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) results for participants of the eXtraordinarY babies study

Article Title: Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) results for participants of the eXtraordinarY babies study: Screening, counseling, diagnosis, and discordance

Authors: Howell, Davis, Thompson, Brown, Tanda, Kowal, Alston, Ross, and Tartaglia

Date of Publication: September 6, 2022

“The majority (57%) of parents with a NIPS result positive for SCA defer diagnostic confirmation until birth; however, diagnostic results can be discordant with NIPS results, which may impact genetic counseling.”

Ovarian reserve evaluation in a woman with 45,X/47,XXX mosaicism: A case report and a review of literature

Article Title: Ovarian reserve evaluation in a woman with 45,X/47,XXX mosaicism: A case report and a review of literature

Authors: Tang, Lin, Guo, Hou, and Yu

Date of Publication: April 22, 2019

FISH should be recommended to evaluate low proportion mosaicism in similar cases. Due to the risk of ovarian failure, fertility preservation for patients with 45,X/47,XXX mosaicism at a younger age must be considered.”

Mosaic double aneuploidy: Down syndrome and XYY

Article Title: Mosaic double aneuploidy: Down syndrome and XYY

Authors: Parihar, Koshy, and Srivastava

Date of Publication: July 2013

“Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is the most common aneuploidy seen in live born infants. Rarely, infants with typical phenotypic features of Down syndrome may have an additional aneuploidy. We report a patient with Down syndrome who had mosaicism for XYY. There is only one other report of such a patient.”

Authors: Pattamshetty, Mantri, and Mohan

Date of Publication: April 12, 2020

Early cytogenetic testing is essential to identify these individuals and testosterone replacement therapy and breast reduction for case management are helpful. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) may assist these individuals father children in some cases.

Phenotypic differences in mosaic Klinefelter patients as compared with non-mosaic Klinefelter patients

Article Title: Phenotypic differences in mosaic Klinefelter patients as compared with non-mosaic Klinefelter patients

Authors: Samplaski, Lo, Grober, Millar, Dimitromanolakis, and Jarvi

Date of Publication: April 2014

“Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common genetic cause of human male infertility. About 80% to 85% of cases are due to the congenital numerical chromosome aberration 47,XXY. Approximately 15% to 20% of KS men are mosaics, usually with two cell lines: 47,XXY/46,XY. The true prevalence of mosaic forms may be underestimated due to different chromosomal mosaicism levels in different tissues. In addition, popular belief holds that men with mosaic KS are more androgenized than their non-mosaic counterparts. These two factors, in addition to others, may result in underdetection of men with mosaic KS.”

Association between domains of quality of life and patients with Klinefelter syndrome: a systematic review

Article Title: Association between domains of quality of life and patients with Klinefelter syndrome: a systematic review

Authors: Mehmet, Gillard, Jayasena, and Llahana

Date of Publication: May 31, 2022

“This is the first evidence synthesis of QoL in men with KS. Current evidence suggests that combined physical and psychological impairments affect men with KS who also experience impairments in relationships and independence in society. Further research is needed to identify factors that influence the QoL in men with KS.”

Early symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in children with sex chromosome trisomies

Article Title: Early symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 1–8 year old children with sex chromosome trisomies (XXX, XXY, XYY), and the predictive value of joint attention

Authors: Bouw, Swaab, Tartaglia, Wilson, van der Velde, and van Rijn

Date of Publication: September 15, 2022

“These findings show a neurodevelopmental impact of the extra X or Y chromosome on social adaptive development associated with risk for ASD already from early childhood onward. These findings advocate for close monitoring and early (preventive) support, aimed to optimize social development of young children with SCT.”

Authors: Berglund, Stochholm, and Gravholt

Date of Publication: November 30, 2021

“The 47,XXX syndrome is associated with an increased occurrence of a wide variety of diseases. Increased awareness of this may contribute to improve counseling and clinical assessment of these patients.”
