A two-year-and-eight-month-old girl presented with clitoromegaly and short stature. Two cell lines, 45,X and 46,X,idic(Y)(q11.2), were observed. Cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridisation investigations were carried out on her peripheral lymphocytes and gonadal cells, to determine the genotype-phenotype effect with respect to differential tissue distribution, effects of the sex determining region of the Y chromosome, and the break-points in the azoospermia factor region.

Morbidity in males with 45,X/46,XY resembles the morbidity pattern in Turner syndrome: a national population-based study.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle-Juul Jensens Boulevard 165, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.
Context: Few studies have reported on males with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Most studies stem from pediatric settings and knowledge of natural history and long-term health outcomes are therefore lacking.
Objective: To describe long-term health outcomes in males with 45,X/46,XY in comparison to the general population.
Testosterone Effects on Short-Term Physical, Hormonal, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants with 47,XXY/Klinefelter Syndrome: The TESTO Randomized Controlled Trial.
medRxiv
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Section of Endocrinology, University of Colorado SOM, Aurora, Colorado, USA.
Context: 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is associated with impaired testicular function and differences in physical growth, metabolism, and neurodevelopment. Clinical features of XXY may be attributable to inadequate testosterone during the mini-puberty period of infancy.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that exogenous testosterone treatment positively effects short-term physical, hormonal, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with XXY.
Gene expression analysis of ovarian follicles and stromal cells in girls with Turner syndrome.

In patients with mosaic Turner syndrome, the ovarian somatic cells (granulosa and stromal cells) display a high level of aneuploidy with a 45,X karyotype, which may affect gene expression in the ovary and contribute to their reduced fertility. The aim of the current research is to study the effect of aneuploidy of somatic ovarian cells on gene expression in ovarian cortex stromal cells and small ovarian follicles from mosaic (45,X/46,XX) Turner syndrome patients. To this end, ovarian cortical tissue was obtained by laparoscopic surgery from eight mosaic Turner syndrome patients (aged 5-19 years) and eight controls (aged 6-18 years).

ASH1L gene encodes a histone lysine methyltransferase, highly expressed in both embryonic and adult human brain. De novo loss-of-function variants in ASH1L are described in an ultrarare monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder, previously called mental retardation type 52 (MRD52). At the same time, a few cases are reported in the literature and DECIPHER with 1q22 microdeletions spanning ASH1L.
