ObjectiveThe purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the 47, XXY syndrome, which is the most commonly occurring X and Y chromosomal variation. This paper seeks to review what is currently known of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and 47, XXY and investigate potential risks and benefits of prenatal identification. MethodA literature review of NIPT and 47, XXY was performed to identify limitations of current NIPT techniques. ResultsAs NIPT becomes an increasingly more routine procedure, prenatal findings of 47, XXY may increase. Awareness of this disorder and appropriate genetic counseling is necessary. ConclusionX and Y chromosomal variations will be identified through this screening, and the benefits and limitations to this finding need to be thoughtfully considered.
