Phenopackets - KaryotypicSex

The karyotypic sex is a widely used concept in medical genetics, referring to the composition of the sex chromosomes in the germline of an individual, irrespective of their phenotypic sex or gender.

Schema (YAML version)
$schema: https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema
title: KaryotypicSex
description: >-
  The chromosomal sex of an individual represented from a selection
  of options. The values correspond to the ordinal values in the Phenopackets
  schema where:
  * 0 - UNKNOWN_KARYOTYPE (Untyped or inconclusive karyotyping)
  * 1 - XX (Female)
  * 2 - XY (Male)
  * 3 - XO (Single X chromosome only)
  * 4 - XXY (Two X and one Y chromosome)
  * 5 - XXX (Three X chromosomes)
  * 6 - XXYY (Two X chromosomes and two Y chromosomes)
  * 7 - XXXY (Three X chromosomes and one Y chromosome)
  * 8 - XXXX (Four X chromosomes)
  * 9 - XYY (One X and two Y chromosomes)
  * 10 - OTHER_KARYOTYPE (None of the above types)
