Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is caused by the presence of a supernumerary X chromosome. Cytogenetic studies revaled that 80-90% of patients carry a 47-XXY karyotype, while 10-20% of cases are represented by mosaic 46-XY/47-XXY and high-grade aneuploidies 48-XXXY and 48-XXYY. The phenotypic traits of KS are highly variable across individuals and include cognitive dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Here, we describe the derivation of multiple 47-XXY iPSC lines from three unrelated KS patients to study the impact of supernumerary X chromosome during early development.
克兰费尔特综合征(KS)是由额外的X染色体存在引起的。细胞遗传学研究表明,80 - 90%的患者携带47,XXY核型,而10 - 20%的病例表现为嵌合型46,XY/47,XXY以及高等级非整倍体48,XXXY和48,XXYY。KS的表型特征在个体间差异很大,包括认知功能障碍、代谢失调、骨质疏松和心血管疾病。在此,我们描述了从三名无亲缘关系的KS患者中获得多个47,XXY诱导多能干细胞系,以研究早期发育过程中额外X染色体的影响。
