Published: February 2010

Because spermatocyte meiotic error results in embryonic sex chromosomal aneuploidy, it is speculated that teratospermia correlates with increased embryonic sex chromosomal abnormalities. Our findings contradict this theory, suggesting that morphology does not correlate with sex chromosomal genotype.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of neurodevelopmental and mental health diagnoses in a national sample of youth with sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs) with matched controls.

Methods: Patients in PEDSnet and a diagnosis code mapping to 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome (n = 1171), 47,XYY/Double Y syndrome (n = 243), or 47,XXX/Trisomy X syndrome (n = 262) were matched with controls using propensity scores. Generalized estimating equations computed odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the prevalence of diagnoses within the neurodevelopmental and mental health composites, psychotropic medication prescriptions, and encounters with behavioral health and therapy providers.

The human genome consists of 23 chromosome pairs (22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), with 46 chromosomes in a normal cell. In the interphase nucleus, the 2 m long nuclear DNA is assembled with proteins forming chromatin. The typical mammalian cell nucleus has a diameter between 5 and 15 μm in which the DNA is packaged into an assortment of chromatin assemblies.
