We need to distinguish between constitutional anomalies which are present in the germ cell or which arise during the early cleavage divisions of a zygote, so that all, or a substantial proportion, of the cells carry the abnormality, and acquired somatic abnormalities wh...

Association between venous leg ulcers and sex chromosome anomalies in men.

We report here two cases of men, aged 46 and 23 years, with refractory chronic venous leg ulcers in association with sex chromosome aberrations: one with a 47,XXY/48,XXXY karyotype (Klinefelter syndrome) and the other with a 47,XYY karyotype (Jacob syndrome). In both patients, the occurrence of leg ulcers was the reason for seeking medical care; their medical history was other-wise unremarkable...
