49,XXXXY syndrome is a very rare condition that is associated with a considerable more severe phenotype than classic 47,XXY Klinefelter syndrome. We present a patient with 49,XXXXY syndrome, who was first presented to an endocrinological unit at the age of 12.5 years with prepubertal genitalia. He was then lost from follow-up and showed clear clinical and biochemical signs of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism when presenting again at the age of 16 years. The patient was started on testosterone replacement therapy. This case is reported to underline the need for thorough endocrinological follow-up examinations in males with X polysomies. 相似文献

A case of neonatal diagnosis of 49,XXXXY syndrome is presented. Clinical identification was prompted by a bilateral thickening of the radioulnar joints and X-ray imaging disclosing almost complete radioulnar synostosis. Conventional karyotyping was initiated and revealed a karyotype of 49,XXXXY. Previously reported neonatal symptoms such as low birth weight, muscular hypotonia, or genital malformations were absent in this case. Microsatellite analysis showed two different X chromosomes each present in two copies, supporting that the four X chromosomes had arisen from a nondisjunction in maternal meiosis I followed by a second nondisjunction involving both X chromosomes in meiosis II. Multidisciplinary follow-up was organised to ensure timely recognition of associated complications. Early awareness of the diagnosis may offer a potential benefit regarding outcome. 相似文献

Summary The cytogenetic study of a pair of identical, mentally-retarded twins with the chromosome complement 48,XXXY is reported, along with extensive clinical and endocrinological studies of one twin.The genetic and clinical features of 30 reported 48,XXXY individuals were summarized and compared to those of 47,XXY and 49,XXXXY individuals. For 47,XXY the mean maternal age clearly is increased; for 48,XXXY it appears definitely but only slightly increased; and for 49,XXXXY it may not be increased at all. Developmental defects, similar in type, appear to be progressively more marked when an additional 1, 2, or 3 X chromosomes are added to the normal male chromosome complement. 47,XXY individuals may be either normal in intelligence or mentally retarded, whereas severe mental retardation has been present in all those with the complements 48,XXXY and 49,XXXXY.The interesting suggestion of increased twining associated with poly-X male complements is noted.

Zusammenfassung Die cytogenetische Untersuchung eines Paares eineiiger, geistig zurückgebliebener Zwillinge mit dem Chromosomenstatus 48,XXXY wird dargestellt; bei dem einen Paarling konnten außerdem ausgedehnte klinische und endokrinologische Studien durchgeführt werden.Außerdem wurden die genetischen und klinischen Merkmale der 30 bekannten Fälle mit 48,XXXY dargestellt und mit denen von Patienten mit 47,XXY und mit 49,XXXXY verglichen. Bei Fällen mit 47,XXY ist das mütterliche Alter deutlich erhöht; bei 48,XXXY ist es eindeutig, aber nur leicht erhöht; es sieht so aus, als ob es für 49,XXXXY überhaupt nicht erhöht wäre. Defekte der Entwicklung, die dem Typ nach ähnlich sind, scheinen dem Ausmaß nach desto mehr ausgeprägt zu sein, je mehr X-Chromosomen zusätzlich bei dem normalen männlichen Chromosomensatz vorhanden sind. 47,XXY Individuen können entweder schwachsinnig sein oder eine normale Intelligenz haben; dagegen zeigten alle Fälle mit 48,XXXY und 49,XXXXY einen schweren Schwachsinn.Es wird die interessante Frage aufgeworfen, ob die Zwillingshäufigkeit bei Poly X-Männern erhöht ist.

Summary H-Y antigen was studied serologically on blood cells and cultured fibroblasts of patients with numerical aberrations of the sex chromosomes. As compared with normal males, patients with the karyotypes 48,XXXY and 49,XXXXY have reduced H-Y antigen titrs; a tendency toward reduced titers can also be detected in the 47,XXY Klinefelter syndrome. The existence of an intermediary titer was further substantiated by a quantitative absorption test applied to cells with the 49,XXXXY karyotype. It appears that in the presence of one Y chromosome, the H-Y antigen titer decreases with an increasing number of X chromosomes. In contrast, the H-Y antigen titer is increased if, at a given number of X chromosomes, the number of Y chromosomes is increased, as in the 47,XYY male. Consequently, patients with 48,XXYY chromosomes are in the male control range. The findings are interpreted under the hypothesis of a controlling or modifying influence of the sex chromosomes on the titer of H-Y antigen. 相似文献

Wolfram syndrome, which is sometimes referred to as "DIDMOAD" (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness), is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder for which only insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy are necessary to make the diagnosis. Researchers have mapped Wolfram syndrome to chromosome 4p16.1, and, recently, a gene encoding a putative transmembrane protein has been cloned and mutations have been identified in patients. To pursue the possibility of locus heterogeneity, 16 patients from four different families were recruited. These patients, who have the Wolfram syndrome phenotype, also have additional features that have not previously been reported. There is an absence of diabetes insipidus in all affected family members. In addition, several patients have profound upper gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. With the use of three microsatellite markers (D4S432, D4S3023, and D4S2366) reported to be linked to the chromosome 4p16.1 locus, we significantly excluded linkage in three of the four families. The two affected individuals in one family showed homozygosity for all three markers from the region of linkage on chromosome 4p16.1. For the other three families, genetic heterogeneity for Wolfram syndrome was verified by demonstration of linkage to chromosome 4q22-24. In conclusion, we report the unique clinical findings and linkage-analysis results of 16 patients with Wolfram syndrome and provide further evidence for the genetic heterogeneity of this disorder. We also provide data on a new locus that plays a role in the etiology of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Summary The frequency of chemical diabetes is increased in patients with aneuploid sex chromosome aberrations such as Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner's syndrome, and a high frequency of chemical diabetes has been found in parents of patients with Down's syndrome. Abnormal pattern in plasma insulin and growth hormone during a glucose load has been found in patients with Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner's syndrome.These findings might, if they are confirmed on large and well selected groups of patients with different chromosome abnormalities, shed some new light on the genetic background of diabetes mellitus, i.e. on the role of the sex chromosomes in the aetiology of diabetes mellitus or alternatively on the possibility that the frequency of non-disjunction in increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The majority of abnormal sex chromosome complexes in the male have been considered to be variants of Klinefelter''s syndrome but an exception should probably be made in the case of the XXXXY individual who has distinctive phenotypic features. Clinical, radiological and cytological data on three new cases of XXXXY syndrome are presented and 30 cases from the literature are reviewed. In many cases the published clinical and radiological data were supplemented and re-evaluated. Mental retardation, usually severe, was present in all cases. Typical facies was observed in many; clinodactyly of the fifth finger was seen in nearly all.Radiological examination revealed abnormalities in the elbows and wrists in all the 19 personally evaluated cases, and other skeletal anomalies were very frequent. Cryptorchism is very common and absence of Leydig''s cells may differentiate the XXXXY chromosome anomaly from polysomic variants of Klinefelter''s syndrome. The relationship of this syndrome to Klinefelter''s syndrome and to Down''s syndrome is discussed. 相似文献

Summary H-Y antigen was examined in eight male patients with X polysomies, namely four patients with 47,XXY, one patient with 48,XXXY, two patients with 49,XXXXY, and one patient with the mosaic 47,XXY/49,XXXXY. In all patients the H-Y antigen titers were lower than in normal 46,XY males. However, a linear correlation between the number of additional X chromosomes and the reduction of H-Y antigen titers could not be demonstrated. Such a correlation would be expected if the gene for the repressor of H-Y antigen expression is active also on the additional X chromosomes. 相似文献

Summary A 3-year-old boy from twin pregnancy with the features of marked dystrophia from birth, deficient growth, considerable retardation of physical and mental development, numerous somatic defects, suspected congenital heart disease, and hypoplastic external genitalia, is reported. The 48,XXXX/49,XXXXY/49,XXXX,i(Yq) karyotype was diagnosed. The boy's brother, normally developed, had a 46,XY karyotype. It was found on the basis of serologic findings that the brothers were dizygotic twins. 相似文献

Five polymorphic index markers were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to ascertain the parental origin of the extra X chromosomes in seven polysomic cases (one 49,XXXXX, three 49,XXXXY, two 48,XXXY, and one 48, XXYY). All four X chromosomes in 49, X polysomies were maternal in origin and the extra X chromosomes in 48 X polysomies were paternal. In each case the multiple X chromosomes were contributed by a single parent. Taken together with previously reported cases, these data support a single mechanism of sequential nondisjunction during either maternal or paternal gametogenesis as the cause of higher order sex chromosome polysomy. 相似文献

Summary A boy with 49,XXXXY karyotype is described with only mild mental retardation at 18 months. Physical abnormalities included patent ductus arteriosus, undescended testes, small penis, bilateral epicanthal folds, and incurved 5th digits with small middle phalanges. Literature review showed 7 previous cases of XXXXY patients with congenital heart disease. 23% of buccal cells showed 1 sex chromatin body; 26% showed 2 and 11% 3. Autoradiography demonstrated 3 heavily labelled X chromosomes. The heteropyknotic behavior of X Chromosomes in excess of one may provide some measure of protection against excessive numbers of X chromosomes, bence the relatively normal development of some XXXXY patients.This study was supported in part by research grant AM-02504 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases U.S. Public Health Service. 相似文献

A female patient with the following symptoms has been observed: complete absence of subcutaneous fat on the arms and legs, well developed adipose tissue on the trunk and face, severe hyperlipidemia, eruptive xanthomas, insulin resistant diabetes mellitus with lack of ketoacidosis, hepatomegaly and elevated basal metabolic rate. The patient thus exhibited all characteristics of lipatrophic diabetes (Lawrence type of diabetes). The mother and a sister of the patient were found to have the same peculiar appearance and a slight hyperlipidemia but no diabetes mellitus. The combination of this type of partial lipodystrophy with severe hyperlipidemia, insulin resistant diabetes mellitus without ketoacidosis and elevated basal metabolic rate was further observed in 2 unrelated patients without known familial occurrence. Thus partial lipodystrophy of the extremities is another, previously undescribed, syndrome associated with the Lawrence type of diabetes mellitus. In the 1 family the syndrome of lipodystrophy and hyperlipidemia is dominantly inherited. Besides the autosomal recessively inherited syndrome of congenital generalized lipodystrophy there is a heterogenous group of dominantly inherited syndromes with various types of lipodystrophy. 相似文献

The femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome is a very rare association of femora and facial abnormalities. The most common features include hypoplasia of the femora and a characteristic facies with a short nose, long philtrum, thin upper lip and micrognathia. Maternal diabetes mellitus has been mainly identified as the causal agent. We reported the first case in a black African and discuss prenatal diagnosis and aetiology. 相似文献

Healthy Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have a sustained postprandial hyperglycemia, producing a prolonged glucose tolerance curve and a transient, diabetes mellitus-like state during 6 to 72 h of fasting. To further assess dolphins as comparative models for diabetes in humans, we hypothesized that a suite of hematological and clinical biochemistry changes during the fasting state may mimic those reported in humans with diabetes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of covariance to compare fasting and nonfasting hematologic and serum biochemical data, including 1161 routine blood samples from 52 healthy bottlenose dolphins (age, 1 to 49 y; male and female) collected during 1998 through 2005. Most changes found in dolphins during the fasting state--including significantly increased glucose, platelets, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase; significantly decreased serum uric acid; and shifts toward a metabolic acidodic state (significantly increased blood CO2)--have been previously associated with diabetes mellitus in humans. Therefore, healthy bottlenose dolphins may be the first complete and natural comparative animal model for diabetes mellitus in humans. Similarities between dolphins and humans, including metabolic changes associated with high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets; large brain-to-mass ratios; high central nervous system demands for glucose; and similarly unique blood glucose-carrying capacities should be further assessed to better understand the potential evolutionary paths of diabetes mellitus in these 2 species. 相似文献

Summary A persistence of the embryonic type of mitotic cycle was found in postnatal strains with aneuploidy of sex chromosomes (45,X; 47,XXX; 49,XXXXX;47,XYY;49,XXXXY). Life-span and proliferating activity of the strains did not differ from those of diploid postnatal cells. 相似文献

Although diabetes mellitus is predominantly a metabolic disorder, recent data suggest that it is as much a vascular disorder. Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death and disability in patients with diabetes mellitus. A number of recent reports have emphasized that many patients already have atherosclerosis in progression by the time they are diagnosed with clinical evidence of diabetes mellitus. The increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients is related to the frequently associated dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and endothelial dysfunction. The evolving knowledge regarding the variety of metabolic, hormonal, and hemodynamic abnormalities in patients with diabetes mellitus has led to efforts designed for early identification of individuals at risk of subsequent disease. It has been suggested that insulin resistance, the key abnormality in type II diabetes, often precedes clinical features of diabetes by 5–6 years. Careful attention to the criteria described for the cardiovascular dysmetabolic syndrome should help identify those at risk at an early stage. The application of nonpharmacologic as well as newer emerging pharmacologic therapies can have beneficial effects in individuals with cardiovascular dysmetabolic syndrome and/or diabetes mellitus by improving insulin sensitivity and related abnormalities. Early identification and implementation of appropriate therapeutic strategies would be necessary to contain the emerging new epidemic of cardiovascular disease related to diabetes. 相似文献

Determination of the origin of nondisjunction in a 49,XXXXY male using hypervariable dinucleotide repeat sequences 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary We present a patient with a 49,XXXXY chromosome constitution in whom the origin of the extra X chromosomes was determined by analysis of five polymorphic CA (or GT) dinucleotide repeat sequences. This class of DNA marker has recently been demonstrated to be hypervariable with heterozygosity values up to 80%. By polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the dinucleotide repeat length polymorphisms, we have shown that all four X chromosomes were of maternal origin. 相似文献

We report on a new-born girl with multiple congenital anomalies consisting of major skeletal anomalies restricted to the left side, cleft palate, ventricular and atrial septal defect, retromicrognathia, short neck, dysplastic low-set ears and large birth weight. The left-side bony anomalies include shortening and bowing of the femur and tibia, hypoplasia of the fibula, hip dislocation, clubfoot and mild shortening of the long tubular bones in the left arm with elbow dislocation. The pregnancy was complicated by insulin-dependent gestational diabetes mellitus in the mother. The radiographic features were not consistent with the diagnosis of campomelic dysplasia, kyphomelic dysplasia or other skeletal dysplasias characterized by bowing and shortening of the long bones. To our knowledge, the multiple congenital anomalies, including major skeletal malformations, present in our case have never been simultaneously reported until now. A maternal diabetes syndrome in this infant is probable. The occurrence of major congenital malformations in offspring of women with gestational diabetes is reviewed and discussed. We provide evidence that gestational diabetes mellitus could be teratogenic. We recommend a careful diabetic control in every woman with a history of gestational diabetes. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo report a case of nonischemic cardiomyopathy associated with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type II (APS-II).MethodsWe describe our patient’s clinical features, evaluation, and outcome. In addition, a literature review of cardiomyopathy associated with polyendocrinopathy syndromes is presented.ResultsThe component disorders of APS-II are Addison’s disease in combination with either autoimmune thyroid disease or type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. Although numerous other autoimmune conditions have been reported in conjunction with APS-II, cardiomyopathy has not been previously described as part of this syndrome. The current patient was a 32-year-old man who, during a 5-year period, was diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes mellitus, Crohn’s disease, and Addison’s disease. In 2001, he presented with severe heart failure that progressed rapidly and eventually necessitated cardiac transplantation.ConclusionAlthough autoimmune cardiomyopathy has been associated with other autoimmune disorders, to our knowledge this is the first reported case of cardiomyopathy in association with an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Patients with this syndrome should undergo clinical evaluation for heart failure. (Endocr Pract. 2007;13:59-62) 相似文献

Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome: case report and symptoms review 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report on a 52-year old Caucasian woman exhibiting signs of Woodhouse - Sakati syndrome and review the clinical signs and symptoms in patients reported so far. The syndrome is characterized by alopecia, mental retardation, hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus, hearing impairment, ECG changes, and by autosomal recessive inheritance. We also propose that the limited mobility of the upper extremities is one of the features of the syndrome. 相似文献
