ABSTRACT In seven patients with the chromatin positive form of Klinefelter's syndrome, the urinary excretion of testosterone was markedly decreased. In contrast the oestrogen production rate and the urinary excretion of oestrogen were normal. These findings indicate that there is an altered conversion of androgen to oestrogen in patients with this disorder.

ABSTRACT Testis tissue from patients with the chromatin positive form of Klinefelter's syndrome was incubated with 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone. The ratio of oestrogen to testosterone in the end products of the incubation utilizing 17α-hydroxyprogesterone as substrate was 5 to 10 times the ratio obtained in similar investigations employing testis from normal control subjects. An increased conversion into oestrogen of testosterone utilized as substrate was also observed in the in vitro studies of testis obtained from the patients with Klinefelter's syndrome. These data lend support to the thesis that in the chromatin positive form of Klinefelter's syndrome there is an increased conversion of testosterone into oestrogen in the testis.

Klinefelter, Reifenstein and Albright (13) in 1942 collected and described nine cases of a new clinical syndrome, later given the eponym Klinefelter's Syndrome, which appeared at puberty in males and was characterized by gynaecomastia, hypogonadism, aspermatogenesis, increased follicle-stimulating hormone (F.S.H.) and normal or low 17-ketosteroid urinary excretion.

Abstract Background Uniparental disomy (UPD) refers to the situation in which two copies of homologous chromosomes or part of a chromosome originate from the one parent and no copy is supplied by the other parent. Case presentation Here, we reported a woman whose karyotype was 46, XX, t (1;17)(q42;q21), has obtained 5 embryos by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after one cycle of in vitro fertility (IVF). After microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) for preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR), two embryos were balanced, one balanced embryo was implanted and the patient successfully achieved pregnancy. Amniocentesis was performed at the 19th week of gestation for karyotype analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array test. The result of karyotype analysis was: mos 47, XXY [19]/46, XY [81]; SNP-array results revealed 46, XY, iUPD (9) pat. After full genetic counseling for mosaic Klinefelter’s syndrome and paternal iUPD (9), the couple decided to continue pregnancy, and the patient gave birth to a healthy boy. The newborn is now 3.5 years old, and developed normally. This case will provide counseling evidences of paternal iUPD (9) for doctors. Conclusions This is the first case report of paternal iUPD9 with mosaic Klinefelter’s syndrome, and no abnormality has been observed during the 3.5-year follow-up. Further observation is required to determine whether the imprinted genes on the chromosomes are pathogenic and whether recessive pathogenetic genes are activated.
