The present study aimed to gain more insight in the social behavioral phenotype, and related autistic symptomatology, of children with an extra X chromosome in comparison to children with ASD. Participants included 60 children with an extra X chromosome (34 boys with Klinefelter syndrome and 26 girls with Trisomy X), 58 children with ASD and 106 controls, aged 9 to 18 years. We used the Autism Diagnostic Interview, Social Responsiveness Scale, Social Anxiety Scale and Social Skills Rating System. In the extra X group, levels of social dysfunction and autism symptoms were increased, being in between controls and ASD. In contrast to the ASD group, the extra X group showed increased social anxiety. The effects were similar for boys and girls with an extra X chromosome.
本研究旨在更深入地了解与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童相比,具有额外X染色体的儿童的社会行为表型及相关自闭症症状。研究参与者包括60名具有额外X染色体的儿童(34名患有克兰费尔特综合征的男孩和26名患有X三体综合征的女孩)、58名ASD儿童和106名对照组儿童,年龄在9至18岁之间。我们使用了自闭症诊断访谈、社会反应量表、社交焦虑量表和社交技能评定系统。在额外X染色体组中,社会功能障碍和自闭症症状水平有所增加,介于对照组和ASD组之间。与ASD组不同的是,额外X染色体组表现出社交焦虑增加。对于具有额外X染色体的男孩和女孩,这些影响是相似的。
