Abstract
Case report

The case concerns a 16-year-old boy with a history of high myopia and unilateral congenital cataract, tall stature for age, facial dysmorphism, hypermobile metacarpal-phalangeal joints, as well as behavioral problems. The mother had a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. Chromosomal analysis of the peripheral blood lymphocytes reported 47,XYY.

Discussion

Patients with sex chromosome aneuploidy 47,XYY have higher risk of congenital malformations, although ophthalmological anomalies are unusual. Evaluation of patients with tall stature and behavioral problems should include a chromosomal analysis in order to determine the etiology.

Keywords:
Congenital cataract
47,XYY syndrome
High myopia
Resumen

La madre tenía antecedente de 3 pérdidas gestacionales. Se realizó cariotipo en sangre periférica reportando 47,XYY.

Discusión

Los pacientes con aneuploidía 47,XYY tienen mayor riesgo de malformaciones congénitas, las alteraciones oftalmológicas no son frecuentes. La evaluación de pacientes con talla alta y alteraciones de la conducta debe incluir cariotipo como parte del abordaje diagnóstico.
