Nature. 2024 Nov;635(8040):960-968. doi: 10.1038/s41586-024-08104-6Brief summary: This study investigated how the presence of an extra X chromosome in Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) affects the development of male fetal germ cells. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and epigenetic profiling of human fetal testes, the authors found that male germ cells with an extra X chromosome exhibit aberra...
