Chromosome mosaicism in a hermaphrodite.

Chromosome mosaicism in a hermaphrodite.

The chromosome complement in 27 patients with convincing evidence of hermaphroditism has now been investigated. A normal female karyotype (44 autosomes + XX) was reported in I7 cases (Bregman, Bregman, Cushner, and Woods, I963; de Assis, Epps, and Bottura, I960; Dewhurst, Warrack, and Casey, I963; German, Bearn, and McGovern, I962; Gordon, O'Gorman, Dewhurst, and Blank, I960; Harnden and Armstr...

Presumptive 46,XX-46,XY-47,XXY mosaicism in a hermaphrodite.

Contrary to the expected XX/XY sex chromosome complements in hermaphroditism, a variety of karyotypes have been reported instead. Dewhurst et al. (1965) summarized from published reports the karyotypic findings in 27 patients with convincing evidence ofhermaphroditism, as follows: 46,XX (17); 46,XY (2); 46,XX/47,XXX (1); 46,XX/46,XX + Frag (1); 46,XX/46,XY (3); 46,XX/47,XXY/ 49,XXYYY (1); 46,XX...

Chromosome mosaicism in a mentally retarded mother and her daughter.

Mosaicism for a chromosome of group G (21-22) has been described in many patients with typical Down's syndrome (Clarke, Edwards, and Smallpeice, 1961; Blank, Gemmell, Casey, and Lord, 1962; Smith, Therman, Patau, and Inhorn, 1962; Nichols, Coriell, Fabrizio, Bishop, and Bogg, 1962; Weinstein and Warkany, 1963; Lindsten, Alvin, Gustavson, and Fraccaro, 1962; Hayashi, Hsu, and Chao, 1962) and in ...

Mosaicism, chimerism and sex-chromosome inactivation.

Sex chromosome mosaicism in couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown an increased frequency of constitutional chromosome aberrations in male and female partners of couples examined prior to ICSI. We conducted a cohort study to determine whether there was an increase in numerical sex chromosome mosaicism among couples undergoing ICSI compared with fertile couples. METHODS Cytogenetic investigations were performed in 228 fem...
