XXXXY Syndrome

49,XXXXY syndrome, also sometimes known as Fraccaro Syndrome, is an extremely rare intersex variation in AMAB or CTM individuals in which they have three extra X chromosomes. It occurs in approximately 1 out of 85,000 - 100,000 AMAB individuals. It is considered a variation of Klinefelter Syndrome.

Traits of 49,XXXXY syndrome can vary, but it usually includes learning difficulties/intellectual disabilities, low muscle tone, hypogonadism, delayed growth, dental issues, curved pinky fingers, a variety of birth defects that may affect the heart, bones, brain and/or kidneys, and distinctive facial features such as widely spaced eyes, a flat nose bridge, and epicanthal folds. Some of these symptoms may classify one with this syndrome as physically disabled.

One common symptom is an undergrown penis (micropenis) and/or undescended testicles (cryptorchidism.) This often causes them not to produce as much testosterone, often leading them to not grow much body hair and not have many masculine traits. As a result, breast growth may occur. This may also cause an over production of estrogen, which may cause them to also fall under aromatase excess syndrome and/or AMAB Hypogonadism. All of those with this variation are incapable of sperm production and thus are infertile.

History
