Relaciones entre capacidad empática y expresión génica: Su estudio en mujeres con diagnóstico de síndrome de Turner

Abstract

El Síndrome de Turner es un trastorno cromosómico determinado por la deleción total o parcial del cromosoma X en el sexo femenino. Diversas investigaciones reportan que las mujeres con este diagnóstico presentan déficits en aspectos específicos involucrados en la cognición social. Bajo el supuesto que la presencia del par doble de cromosomas X en el cariotipo de un individuo es protector de las habilidades socio-cognitivas, y que la expresión reducida de genes puede interferir selectivamente en el desarrollo de ciertos dominios cognitivos, el objetivo del presente trabajo es caracterizar la capacidad empática en mujeres con diagnóstico de Síndrome de Turner y determinar si existen perfiles distintivos asociados al cariotipo. La empatía es un proceso elemental dentro de la cognición social que presenta una influencia directa en el desarrollo de habilidades sociales. Esta capacidad se evaluó a través del Interpersonal Reactivity Index y del Test de las Miradas en una muestra de 20 mujeres con diagnóstico de Síndrome de Turner y sus respectivos casos controles. Los resultados permiten acercarse al conocimiento de los procesos que subyacen al funcionamiento social de mujeres con este diagnóstico, profundizando en un área de investigación novedosa, donde existen escasos desarrollos que permiten vincular la cognición social y la información genética del cromosoma X como factor protector de la misma.

Turner´s Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder determined by the total or parcial deletion of X chromosome in females. Investigations report that women with this diagnosis presents impairements in specific aspects involved in social cognition. Under the assumption that the doble pair of X chromosome in the karyotpe of individuals is protector of social-cognitive skills, and that the reduced gene expression can interfere selectivily in the developement of certain cognitive domains, the aim of this work was to characterize the empathic capacity of women with diagnosis of Turner´s Syndrome and determine if there are distinctive profiles associated to karyotype. Empathy is an elemental process of social cognition and has direct inlfuence in the developement of social skills. This capacity was evaluated wuth the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test in a sample of 20 women with diagnosis of Turner´s Syndrome and therir respective controls. Results allowed to approach to the knowledge of the processes underlying social functioning of women with this diagnosis, delving into a new area of invetigation, where few researches allow to relate social cognition and genetic information of X chromosome as a protective factor of it.
