Ultrasound identification of apparently normal male genitalia in a 46,X,+mar fetus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A level II ultrasound examination revealed a scrotum and penis in a fetus with a 46,X,+mar chromosome complement. The marker was subsequently considered to be a del(Y)(q11). A phenotypically normal male infant was born. Detailed ultrasound examination of similar cases for visualisation of the genitalia is recommended.

X-Linked Lissencephaly with Absent Corpus Callosum and Ambiguous Genitalia: A Case Report
Background: X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia (XLAG) is a recently described genetic disorder, in which patients present with lissencephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, refractory epilepsy of neonatal onset, acquired microcephaly, and male genotype with ambiguous genitalia. XLAG is responsible for a severe neurological disorder of neonatal onset in boys. A gyration defect con...
متن کاملThe biology of human psychosexual differentiation.
Most attempts to identify biological underpinnings of gender identity and sexual orientation in humans have investigated effects of sex steroids, so pivotal in the differentiation of the genitalia, showing strong parallels between animals and the human. The information on humans is derived from the so-called 'experiments of nature', clinical entities with a lesser-than-normal androgen exposure ...
متن کاملTrizygotic dichorionic triplets with 46,XX/46,XY chimerism in both fetuses of the monochorionic pair.
Monochorionic fetuses are traditionally thought of as monozygotic (MZ), arising from a single embryo that splits during early embryogenesis. With rare exception, they typically exhibit the same genotype and the same gender. However, several recent reports have documented that monochorionicity does not always indicate monozygosity (Souter et al., 2003). At least 14 such cases have been reported ...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis and normal outcome of a 46,XX/46,XY chimera: a case report.
The phenotypic spectrum of 46,XX/46,XY chimeric patients is variable. It ranges from normal male or female genitalia to different degrees of ambiguous genitalia. Chimerism results from the amalgamation of two different zygotes in a single embryo, whereas mosaicism results from a mitotic error in a single zygote. Several other mechanisms resulting in a chimera have been discussed in the literatu...
متن کامل45,X/46,XY mosaicism: a cause of short stature in males.
45,X/46,XY mosaicism is associated with a broad spectrum of phenotypes ranging from apparently normal male development to individuals with incomplete sexual differentiation and clinical signs of Turner syndrome in both males and females. The most common presentation among individuals with a 45,X/46,XY karyotype is sexual ambiguity, accounting for approximately 60% of cases, while the least comm...
