Psychotic disorder and its characteristics in sex chromosome aneuploidies

The pseudoautosomal region and sex chromosome aneuploidies in domestic species.

The pseudoautosomal region (PAR) is a unique and specialized segment on the mammalian sex chromosomes with known functions in male meiosis and fertility. Detailed molecular studies of the region in human and mouse show dramatic differences between the 2 PARs. Recent mapping efforts in horse, dog/cat, cattle/ruminants, pig and alpaca indicate that the PAR also varies in size and gene content bet...

Rare sex chromosome aneuploidies: 49,XXXXY and 48,XXXY syndromes.

49,XXXXY and 48,XXXY syndromes are rare gonosomal aneuploidies in which the affected individuals present with characteristic facial and skeletal malformations, intrauterine growth retardation, and psychomotor retardation. Psychological, endocrinologic and orthopedic disorders constitute the major problems in the clinical follow-up. Sex chromosome abnormalities should especially be kept in mind ...

X chromosome dosage by quantitative fluorescent PCR and rapid prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidies.

During the past few years, rapid prenatal diagnosis of chromosome aneuploidies has been successfully achieved by quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR) amplification of chromosome-specific small tandem repeats (STR). This approach has proven to be very useful in clinical settings, since it allows the detection of major numerical disorders in a few hours after sampling. For the detection of Turne...

Karyotype and Sex-Chromosome Polymorphism in Nesokia indica, from Iran

Increased prevalence of sex chromosome aneuploidies in specific language impairment and dyslexia

AIM Sex chromosome aneuploidies increase the risk of spoken or written language disorders but individuals with specific language impairment (SLI) or dyslexia do not routinely undergo cytogenetic analysis. We assess the frequency of sex chromosome aneuploidies in individuals with language impairment or dyslexia. METHOD Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping was performed in thre...
