Non-mosaic Klinefelter syndrome with normal semen parameters and ability to conceive.
Background: Non-mosaic 47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome, KS) males rarely retain preserved spermatogenesis. Here, we describe a 43-year-old man with intact fertility (prior natural conception, normal semen parameters), challenging conventional phenotypic paradigms.
Objectives: To report an exceptional non-mosaic 47,XXY case with preserved fertility and normozoospermia, redefining classic phenotyping norms.
Materials and methods: We conducted an observational study of a couple (male, non-mosaic 47,XXY; female, normal karyotype) undergoing two PGT-A cycles. Data included semen analyses, reproductive system ultrasonography, endocrine profiles, and embryo genetic diagnostics.
Results: Two PGT-A cycles using fresh/thawed sperm yielded three blastocysts: two aneuploid blastocysts in the first cycle (3BC; 6BC) and one untested blastocyst in the second cycle (4BC). Due to cost constraints, the patient declined euploidy testing in the second cycle. A thawed embryo transfer (FET) was performed with the untested blastocyst, resulting in no pregnancy.
Conclusion: This study presents a paradigm-shifting case of successful assisted reproduction in a couple where the male partner has non-mosaic KS with preserved fertility potential. Our findings challenge conventional assumptions about natural conception in KS patients and underscore the need for: (1) comprehensive evaluation of reproductive endocrine function, (2) molecular characterization of the testicular microenvironment, and (3) longitudinal assessment of fertility potential in atypical KS presentations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
