A rare sex chromosome aneuploidy syndrome, 49,XXXXY syndrome is characterized by mental retardation with severe learning difficulties, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities, hypogonadism, and congenital heart disease. The authors describe a 30-month-old boy with 49,XXXXY syndrome, global developmental delay and white matter changes in the brain magnetic resonance imaging. They reviewed the literature to delineate a specific magnetic resonance imaging pattern of 49,XXXXY syndrome.

Background: 49XXXXY syndrome is the rarest X chromosome aneuploidy, with approximate incidence of 1:85,000-100,000 male births. Worldwide, around 100 cases have been reported. In this report, we describe one such case seen in Sri Lanka.

Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is the most common aneuploidy in humans (prevalence: 85-250 per 100,000 born males) and is characterized by one or more supernumerary X-chromosomes (47-XXY, 48-XXXY and 49-XXXXY karyotypes). KS is a multisystemic disorder associated to multiple phenotypic features including cardiac abnormalities, infertility, mental retardation, diabetes and increased cancer risk. Using a non-integrative mRNAs reprogramming approach, we generated two iPSC lines 48-XXXY and 49-XXXXY from a non-mosaic 49-XXXXY KS patient carrying a balanced translocation t(4,11) (q35,q23).

Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is the most frequent X chromosome aneuploidy in males. KS patients with 47-XXY, 48-XXXY and 49-XXXXY karyotypes endure inter-individual phenotypic variabilities including infertility, cardiac diseases, metabolic and psychiatric disorders. We derived iPSC lines from a high-grade 49-XXXXY KS and two healthy donors' fibroblasts.
