XXY male with X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata (Happle syndrome)

Am J Med Genet. 1995 Jul 3;57(3):489-92. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320570326.

Abstract

Happle syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder with presumed lethality in hemizygous males; familial occurrence is rare. We describe a family with Happle syndrome affecting individuals in 3 generations. A man in this family is the first known male patient with Happle syndrome. He is severely affected; this may be due to his 47,XXY karyotype.
