The Emerging Ophthalmic Phenotype of XXYY Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
48 XXYY is a sex chromosome tetrasomy condition which causes tall stature, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism, facial dysmorphism, developmental delay and behavioural difficulties. Over 100 cases have been published in the literature but there is little information on the ophthalmic findings in these patients. Previously reported ophthalmic findings have included Duane anomaly, high myopia and retinal dysfunction. We report a case of 48, XXYY syndrome in a child who presented with developmental delay. He was referred to Ophthalmology with a squint and on detailed examination was found to be hyperopic; with an unusual pigmented fundal appearance he had a normal electroretinogram and normal visual evoked potentials.

متن کاملA new look at XXYY syndrome: medical and psychological features.
XXYY syndrome occurs in approximately 1:18,000-1:40,000 males. Although the physical phenotype is similar to 47,XXY (tall stature, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, and infertility), XXYY is associated with additional medical problems and more significant neurodevelopmental and psychological features. We report on the results of a cross-sectional, multi-center study of 95 males age 1-55 with XXYY...
