Presumptive Y/D translocation in mixed gonadal dysgenesis.

چکیده
One of the important findings of human cytogenetics has been the role of the Y chromosome in testicular differentiation of the bipotential embryonic gonad, but a puzzle has been posed by reports of individuals with a testis but with no apparent Y chromosome. This paper describes a patient with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (testis and streak), interpreted as having a Y/D translocation in some cells, the rest being XO.

X/XYq - mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis.
A non-fluorescent Y chromosome was observed in a phenotypic male with 45,X/46,XYq-mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis. Q-banding of the father's chromosomes showed a normally fluorescent Y. Measurements of the Y chromosomes in the father and the patient showed a significant difference in length. Evidence for translocation of the Y fluorescent segment to another chromosome was lacking in the ...
متن کاملBalanced Reciprocal Translocation t(X;1) in a Girl with Tall Stature and Primary Amenorrhea
AbstractChromosomal translocations constitute one of the most important, yet uncommon, causes of primary amenorrhea and gonadal dysgenesis. Although X-autosome translocations are frequently associated with streak gonads and clinical features of the Turner syndrome, the majority of X-autosome carriers may present with a variable phenotype, developmental delay, and recognizable X-linked syndrome ...
متن کاملDicentric Y chromosome in mixed gonadal dysgenesis.
A 15-year-old girl was investigated because of ambiguous genitalia. Her chromosome studies showed a 45, X/45, Xdic(Yq) mosaicism. The identity of the dicentric Y chromosome was demonstrated by its typical fluorescent banding patterns. Histological evidence of mixed gonadal dysgenesis with intragonadal tumour was observed, confirming the occurrence of gonadoblastoma associated with mosaicism in ...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of Ring Y Chromosome in a 10-Year-Old Boy with Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis and Growth Hormone Deficiency
Ring Y chromosome is a very rare chromosomal aberration. The published mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD) patients with a ring Y chromosome are short in stature, but are not growth hormone (GH) deficient. We present the molecular cytogenetic and molecular characterization of ring Y chromosome mosaicism in a 10-year-old boy with MGD whose short stature could be explained by the high percentage of ce...
متن کاملMixed Gonadal Dysgenesis with an unusual "inverted" Y chromosome.
Mixed gonadal dysgenesis is a rare disorder of sex development associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy and mosaicism of the Y chromosome. It is characterized by a unilateral non-palpable (usually intra-abdominal) testis, a contralateral streak gonad and persistent mullerian structures. The clinical presentation can vary from a typical male to female phenotype including all degrees of cryptorc...
