متن کامل48, XXYY syndrome associated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia.
A 56-yr-old man with hypogonadism, gynecomastia, and mental retardation was evaluated for chromosome constitution and thrombocytopenia. Chromosomal analysis demonstrated the mosaicism of 48, XXYY and 47, XXY in the peripheral lymphocytes. Twenty out of twenty-five cells were 48, XXYY karyotype and the remaining five were 47, XXY karyotype. Thrombocytopenia was the EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocy...
