Abstract

Individuals mosaic for monosomy X and a cell line with Y chromosome material can have genitalia that appear phenotypical female, male, or ambiguous. Those with this karyotype and typical female genitalia are diagnosed with Turner syndrome; however, this definition specifically excludes those with genitalia other than typical female. There is limited information on whether medical and neurodevelopmental risks are similar among individuals with monosomy X and Y chromosome material across genital phenotypes. This multicenter retrospective study compared comorbidities and clinical management in individuals with monosomy X and Y material and male/ambiguous genitalia to those with typical female genitalia. Electronic medical records for all patients with monosomy X and Y material (n = 76) at two large U.S. pediatric centers were abstracted for predetermined data and outcomes. Logistic regression was used to compare the two phenotypic groups adjusting for site and duration of follow-up. The male/ambiguous genitalia group was just as likely to have congenital heart disease (RR 1.0, 95%CI [0.5-1.9]), autoimmune disease (RR 0.6 [0.2-1.3]), and neurodevelopmental disorders (RR 1.4 [0.8-1.2]) as those with female genitalia. Despite similar risks, they were less likely to receive screening and counseling. In conclusion, individuals with monosomy X and Y chromosome material have similar medical and neurodevelopmental risks relative to individuals with Turner syndrome regardless of genitalia, but there are notable differences in clinical management.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
