In a double-blind, double-matched population survey, the tremor of 12 XYY, 14 XXY, and 52 XY men were studied clinically and by a special tremor recording equipment. XYY men were found to have a more pronounced tremor than XY normals, while XXY men were not found to differ in any definite way from normal XY men.

Synergistic Effects of Extra X Chromosome on Development of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Sjögren Disease in Klinefelter and Triple X Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease (SjD) are autoimmune diseases with significant female predominance. The prevalence of SLE is increased in Klinefelter syndrome (KS) compared with the general male population. Our study investigates the dose effects of extra X chromosomes on the development of SLE and SjD in KS and triple X syndrome compared with the general population.

In humans, the X and Y chromosomes determine the biological sex, XX specifying for females and XY for males. The long noncoding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) plays a crucial role in the process of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in cells of the female, a process that ensures the balanced expression of X-linked genes between sexes. Initially, it was believed that XIST can be expressed only from the inactive X chromosome (Xi) and is considered a typically female-specific transcript.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is an immune-mediated disease associated with substantial medical burden. Notably, lupus exhibits a striking female bias, with women having significantly higher susceptibility compared to men, up to 14-fold higher in some ethnicities. Supernumerary X chromosome syndromes, like Klinefelter (XXY) and Triple X syndrome (XXX), also present higher SLE prevalence, whereas Turner syndrome (XO) displays lower prevalence.

Deficits in several cognitive domains are prevalent in men with Klinefelter Syndrome (KS). Verbal deficits are among the most characteristic cognitive impairments of KS, yet other cognitive domains also exhibit deficits. Executive functions, especially working memory capacity and inhibitory control, are frequently affected as well.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of male infertility patients.
Method: A total of 1600 male patients with infertility, including 1300 cases of azoospermia and 300 cases of severe oligozoospermia, underwent routine semen analysis, chromosomal karyotype analysis and sex hormone level testing. The Azoospermia factor (AZF) on the Y chromosome was detected using the multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR technique.
