Abstract
Clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in female patients with polysomy X have been less characterized as compared to those in male patients. Here, we describe a 28-year-old woman with trisomy X (47,XXX) who developed SLE. She had polyarthritis, hemolytic anemia, and was positive for anti-nuclear and anti-dsDNA antibodies. We discuss the common SLE manifestations with female polysomy X and the possible link between the development of SLE and the presence of extra X-chromosomes.
