Objective: To explore the genetic basis for a child with mental retardation.
Methods: The child was subjected to chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and targeted capture next-generation sequencing for the exons of genes related to genetic and metabolic diseases. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the child and his parents.
Results: CMA suggested that the child has a 47,XYY karyotype. Next-generation sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the AUH gene, including c.677G>A (p.R226H) and c.373C>T (p.R125W), which were respectively inherited from his parents. Based on the American college of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) standards and guidelines, the c.677G>A (P.r226h) variant was predicted as variant of uncertain significance (PM2+PP4+PP3), whilst the c.373C>T (P.R125W) variant was predicted as likely pathogenic (PM1+PM2+PP3+PP4).
Conclusion: The child had XYY syndrome in conjunct with 3-methylglutaenedioic aciduria type I due to biallelic pathogenic variants of the AUH gene.

Neurodevelopmental and Mental Health Outcomes in a National Clinical Sample of Youth With Sex Chromosome Trisomies Compared With Matched Controls.

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.
Age-related differences in psychopathology within sex chromosome trisomies.

Sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs) are a group of genetic disorders characterized by presence of a supernumerary sex chromosome, resulting in karyotypes other than XX or XY. These include XXX (Trisomy X), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), and XYY (Jacobs syndrome). Sex chromosome trisomies have been linked to increased risk for psychopathology; however, this relationship warrants additional research.

This study aimed to investigate the serum biochemical markers' propensity associated with sex chromosome abnormalities (SCAs) and assess the clinical efficacy of SCAs in serum biochemical screening during the second trimester. A retrospective case-control analysis was conducted on pregnant women who underwent serum biochemical screening during the second trimester. The study compared groups of women with SCAs to those with normal chromosome karyotypes to assess changes in biochemical markers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of genetic testing using exome sequencing (ES) in oligohydramnios pregnancies with or without other structural abnormalities.
Materials And Methods: A total of 110 singleton pregnancies complicated by oligohydramnios were enrolled, including 52 of isolated oligohydramnios and 58 of non-isolated oligohydramnios. All fetal samples were first tested by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and followed by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).
