The ICD-10 code for XYY Syndrome is Q98.8, which falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformations of chromosome." Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for XYY Syndrome as it was replaced by the ICD-10 coding system. XYY Syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra Y chromosome in males. It may lead to tall stature, learning difficulties, and behavioral challenges.
XYY Syndrome, also known as 47,XYY, is a chromosomal disorder that affects males. It occurs when a male has an extra copy of the Y chromosome, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. This condition is relatively rare, occurring in approximately 1 in 1,000 male births.
In terms of diagnostic coding, XYY Syndrome is classified under the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). The specific ICD-10 code for XYY Syndrome is Q98.8. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformations of the chromosome," which encompasses various chromosomal disorders with specific genetic abnormalities.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) does not have a specific code for XYY Syndrome. However, it is worth mentioning that ICD-9 did include a general code for "Other specified chromosomal anomalies" (758.89), which could potentially be used to indicate XYY Syndrome in the absence of a specific code.
It is important to note that accurate diagnosis and coding should be performed by healthcare professionals based on comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic testing.
