Article Abstract

Purpose: This pilot study aimed to explore the necessity for 47,XYY syndrome males (couples) to perform PGT rather than conventional In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) cycles.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 36 nonmosaic and mosaic 47,XYY syndrome patients (couples) undergoing 43 oocyte retrieval cycles (37 planned for PGT and 6 for IVF/ICSI) between December 2017 and December 2023. The couples were given either next-generation sequencing-based PGT or conventional IVF/ICSI followed by 45 embryo transfer (ET) cycles (38 from PGT and 7 from IVF/ICSI). The detailed cytogenetic results of the 129 embryos from PGT were analyzed, and the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between PGT-ET and conventional IVF/ICSI-ET cycles were compared.

Results: The PGT results showed that the chance of sex chromosome abnormalities was low (1.55%), with chromosomal errors being observed more often in autosomes. Importantly, no differences were observed in the rates of biochemical pregnancy, implantation, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, pregnancy loss, live birth, and preterm delivery between PGT-ET cycles and conventional IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. Comparable results regarding gestational age, birthweight, low birthweight rate, macrosomia rate, male rate, as well as the rate of congenital anomalies were also observed between the two groups.

Conclusions: Preimplantation genetic testing might not be necessary to conduct for 47,XYY syndrome males unless there are other indications. Studies with large populations are in demand to confirm the present results.

Background: Psychiatric symptoms are typically highly inter-correlated at the group level. Collectively, these correlations define the architecture of psychopathology - informing taxonomic and mechanistic models in psychiatry. However, to date, it remains unclear if this architecture differs between etiologically distinct subgroups, despite the core relevance of this understanding for personalized medicine.

Jacobs (JS) and Klinefelter (KS) syndromes, carrying 47,XYY and 47,XXY chromosomes, respectively, are the most prevalent sex-chromosome aneuploidies in males. JS and KS patients share several clinical features, including sterility, hormonal deficits, neurocognitive delay, and skeletal-muscle defects, although the penetrance of these traits in the two syndromes varies. Despite the high incidence, the molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical manifestations in sex aneuploid male patients are still elusive.

Age-related differences in psychopathology within sex chromosome trisomies.

Sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs) are a group of genetic disorders characterized by presence of a supernumerary sex chromosome, resulting in karyotypes other than XX or XY. These include XXX (Trisomy X), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), and XYY (Jacobs syndrome). SCTs have been linked to increased risk for psychopathology; however, this relationship warrants additional research.

Sex Chromosome Trisomy (SCT) conditions are genetic disorders that affect approximately 1:500 children. Although there is considerable variability in phenotype, individuals with SCT have an elevated likelihood, compared to the general population, of developing social deficits and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies report that 10-35 % of individuals with SCT meet criteria for ASD, depending on differences in ascertainment methods and diagnostic criteria.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of neurodevelopmental and mental health diagnoses in a national sample of youth with sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs) with matched controls.

Methods: Patients in PEDSnet and a diagnosis code mapping to 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome (n = 1171), 47,XYY/Double Y syndrome (n = 243), or 47,XXX/Trisomy X syndrome (n = 262) were matched with controls using propensity scores. Generalized estimating equations computed odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the prevalence of diagnoses within the neurodevelopmental and mental health composites, psychotropic medication prescriptions, and encounters with behavioral health and therapy providers.
