Different mechanisms in Klinefelter syndrome contribute to reduced bone mass and osteoporosis, which have a precocious onset and are detected in up to 40% of patients, irrespectively of testosterone levels. Androgen receptor, X chromosome inactivation and INSL3 levels are hypothesized to cooperate with and modulate the effect of testosterone on the bone.
New perspectives on genetic topics are opening exciting areas of research on the pathophysiology of reduced bone mass in Klinefelter patients.
不同机制导致克氏综合征患者出现骨量减少和骨质疏松,其发病早,高达 40%的患者可检测到,与睾酮水平无关。雄激素受体、X 染色体失活和 INSL3 水平被认为与睾酮对骨骼的作用相互配合并对其进行调节。
遗传课题的新视角为克氏综合征患者骨量减少的病理生理学研究开辟了令人兴奋的研究领域。
