Some abnormalities of sex development due to errors of the sex chromosomes.
نویسنده
چکیده
IT is estimated that chromosome abnormalities responsible for congenital errors of development may be present in about one half per cent. of the general population and it is thought that about three-quarters of these chromosome errors involve abnormalities of the sex chromosomes. This, then, means that about 4,ooo babies are born every year and survive with developmental anomalies due to chromosome errors and that in about 3,000 in a year the sex chromosomes are implicated. I have taken only representative clinical examples of each of the major classes of sexchromosome errors which are responsible for developmental mishaps.

In order to identify the sex marker in Mahisefied, Rutilus frisii kutum, samples from 5 male and 5 female fish were collected from the south Caspian Sea. Polymerase chain reaction random amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) was performed using 124 primer sets. All bands were numbered using 1 and 0 scores corresponding to the presence or absence of bands, respectively and data were analyzed usin...
