XYYY syndrome, also known as 48,XYYY, is a chromosomal disorder in which a male has two extra Y chromosomes. [1] Symptoms may include mild intellectual disability, irregular teeth, infertility, radioulnar synostosis, and tall stature. [2] [4]
The underlying mechanism is believed to involve fertilization of a normal egg by a sperm containing three Y chromosomes. [3] Such a sperm could be produced by nondisjunction during meiosis. [3] In some, only part of their cells are affected. [1] Diagnosis is by genetic testing, often a karyotype, though other techniques may be used. [3] It is a type of sex chromosome aneuploidy. [5]
Speech therapy and educational support may be required. [1] Outcomes are generally okay, with a reasonable life expectancy. [1] [3] XYYY syndrome is exceptionally rare, with about 10 reported cases as of 2018. [3] Though, further undiagnosed cases may exist. [1] The condition was first described in 1965. [3]
