The detection of chimerism in the fetus has caused heated discussions
Recently, a fetus in Sichuan was detected with chimeric superandrogenic syndrome in the hospital. According to the clinical report posted by the pregnant mother on the Internet, she was 25+5 weeks pregnant, and the clinical symptoms were described: the fetal appendages were abnormal, and the color ultrasound showed polyhydramnios. Interpretation of results: The number of Y chromosomes in the sample was detected, and it was presumed that XY was mosaic with XYY, or other complex karyotypes.
The pregnant mother said that after learning the results, she was very depressed and went online to ask netizens what she should do. She posted the matter to social platforms for help on July 14, but she didn't expect that most of the more than 180,000 netizens left messages to persuade her to "knock it out".
In the comment area of the related video, some netizens believe that since it is a chromosomal abnormality, it should not be stayed. Others refer to super-male syndrome as a "demon gene" and cite many of the conditions that will occur in children with super-male syndrome in the future, such as violence, developmental delays, crime, and inability to have children. But some netizens believe that as long as parents can create a good acquired environment, their children will grow up healthily in the future, so they can stay.
Family Response:
After a month of struggle, I decided to terminate the pregnancy
At noon on July 20, the pregnant mother responded on the Internet: After more than a month of entanglement, after combining the situation of her ordinary family, taking into account various uncertain factors after the birth of the child, and communicating with teachers, experts and professors in major hospitals, she has signed a pregnancy termination letter on the 18th and is now hospitalized.
In her response to the article, she said that she hoped that netizens would stop "demonizing" Chaoxiong. It is true that hyperandrogenic syndrome can lead to tall stature, autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, etc., but it is only a matter of genetic splitting. That is, the sperm divides wrong when it is close to the egg, not the "twins eat the older brother or younger brother" as circulated on the Internet. At the same time, she also hopes that netizens will accumulate some morality, "It is a very heart-wrenching thing to lose a child."
At about 11 p.m. on July 20, the family of the person concerned said in the fan group of her video account that she had safely completed the termination of pregnancy. At about 10 o'clock in the morning on the 21st, she could get out of bed and walk around, "I am much better today, I can get out of bed, but it still hurts a little." Doctors advised that she would need to be observed for another two days before she could be discharged. In the face of the care and companionship of many concerned netizens, the party expressed his gratitude and said that "surviving is rebirth". At the same time, I wish "all mothers who are about to get pregnant or have already become pregnant, and have a green light for prenatal checkups".
What is Superandrogenic Syndrome?
Many people know the unpopular word "supermale syndrome", starting from the movie "Wading through the Sea of Anger". After the release of "Wading in the Sea of Anger", the entry for #李苗苗 Superhero Syndrome# even appeared on the hot search, and some people took stock of a series of "naturally bad" villain male protagonists on the Internet, attributing their behavior to "Superhero Syndrome".
So, is there a scientific basis for hyperandrogenic syndrome? Is there a "demon gene" for superandrogenic syndrome that is "born bad"?
Superandrogenic syndrome is a syndrome of sex chromosome abnormalities, also known as 47,XYY syndrome, that is, males have an extra Y chromosome on the basis of the normal 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes, which belongs to a special chromosomal variant disorder, and the incidence of this condition in male infants is 1:900.
Is there a "demon gene" with hyperandrogenic syndrome?
Dong Xi, director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said, "Not all people who have XYY chromosomes will commit crimes, they are also normal people, and they should not be scandalized by all kinds of radical symbols." ”
Why is hyperandrogenic syndrome considered the root of evil?
Dong Xi introduced, "In the early years, the United States conducted a genetic survey of criminals with serious violent tendencies in a prison, and the results of the survey found that among the people surveyed, the proportion of people with XYY genotype was higher than that of the normal population, and it was believed that the excessive behavior caused by excessive androgens in their bodies caused by excessive androgens caused by everyone aroused discussion. ”
In addition, according to public information, as early as 1965, United Kingdom geneticist Jacobs published an article in the journal Nature that among the 197 patients with mental illness tested, 12 were found to have chromosomal abnormalities, including 7 XYY chromosome carriers; In 1966, the Lancet published an article stating that genetic testing was carried out on 315 male patients, and the results found that 9 XYY men were all criminals with mental disorders, and concluded that men carrying XYY were more likely to become criminals than ordinary people. Later, although this conclusion was quickly denied by the academic community, it has caused widespread discussion in society.
An article published by the Chengdu Health Commission in October 2023 said that the claim of "criminal chromosomes" is untenable. According to the Prenatal Reproductive Genetics Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University, the vast majority of superandrogenic syndrome is relatively normal, and there is basically no obvious statistical difference between fertility and intellectual development from normal men.
What are the characteristics of Superhero?
The incidence of hyperandrogenic syndrome is not low, but at present, more than eighty percent of patients are not diagnosed. In other words, many people may not know that they have hyperandrogenic syndrome for the rest of their lives, because the detection method is late in popularity, the manifestations are not obvious, and the diagnosis age is too old. The average age of diagnosis is around 17 years old.
Clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenic syndrome
1. Physical characteristics
It usually presents with a tall stature, elongated limbs, a larger head circumference than the general population, and a normal weight.
2. Intelligence and emotion
Intelligence is normal, but it is possible to be slightly lower than other members of the family. Irritability, hyperactivity, and difficulty concentrating may occur in early adolescence, but as you get older, you should learn to control yourself. Some people say that people with XYY may have characteristics such as withdrawn personality, short temper, irritability, aggressive behavior, and criminal tendencies, but this is only an isolated case.
3. Characteristics of the reproductive system
Most patients with XYY syndrome have normal gonadal function and normal sperm production and fertility ability, but some patients have varying degrees of sperm defects, manifested as oligospermia or azoospermia. However, with the development of reproductive medicine technology, this problem has been well solved, and assisted reproductive technology can be used for couples of childbearing age who have difficulty having children.
4. Skeletal aspects
The length of the bones increases significantly compared to the width, especially on the top of the head, hands, and feet.
5. Growth and development
They may be taller than the average person, taller than others at birth, and more noticeable after the age of 5-6.
Should I have an XYY baby?
With the development and popularization of prenatal diagnosis technology in China, superandrogenic syndrome can now be detected through prenatal screening technologies such as genetic testing, non-invasive DNA screening, and amniocentesis. It is still a question in the minds of many people.
"There is no need to induce labor, and a child with the 47XYY genotype is not born bad, and this concept needs to be established." Dong Xi said that if parents find this problem during the prenatal examination, they should seek the advice and guidance of a genetics doctor as soon as possible, although children with hyperandrogen syndrome may cause some excesses due to excessive androgens, but if they cultivate their consciousness control ability in the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, they can achieve self-control, and they can prevent the problem before it happens.
