Klinefelter's syndrome, characterised by a 47,XXY chromosomal pattern, has largely been associated with physical abnormalities. Here, we report high levels of schizophrenia-spectrum pathology in 32 men with this syndrome in comparison with 26 healthy controls. This may have implications for treatment of have implications for treatment of Klinefelter's syndrome and suggests that the X chromosome may be involved in the aetiology of schizophrenia.
克兰费尔特综合征以47,XXY染色体模式为特征,很大程度上与身体异常有关。在此,我们报告了32名患有该综合征的男性与26名健康对照相比,精神分裂症谱系病理学水平较高。这可能对克兰费尔特综合征的治疗有影响,并表明X染色体可能参与精神分裂症的病因学。
