Prader-Willi syndrome and polygonosomal abnormalities in males:about a Prader-Willi/47,XYY patient.
We herein report a male patient known as having a XYY karyotype. At the age of 26 years a Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) was diagnosed. Before that time the whole symptomatology was ascribed to the XYY syndrome. This is the first reported association of PWS and polygonosomal abnormality in a male adult (whose height is above average).
