Sex Chromosomal Mosaicism
نویسنده
چکیده
Morphological abnormalities of the X chromosome are well documented and have been extensively reviewed and discussed by Ferguson-Smith (1965). They include isochromosome of the long arm, deletions of the long and short arms, ring chromosomes, and chromosomal fragments. Other types of abnormality are rare. Engel and Forbes (1965) described a chromatin negative girl (Patient No. 27) with a mosaicism of an XO line and an X large metacentric stem, which could have been an isochromosome. Mann, Valdmanis, Capps, and Puite (1965) described a girl with primary amenorrhoea who had an abnormality deduced to be due to a reciprocal translocation between an X and a B autosome, and Wie Lie, Coenegracht, and Stalder (1964) studied a mentally retarded girl with Turner's syndrome and a large metacentric chromosome replacing an X-6-12 chromosome in all cells. We here present a patient with some features of gonadal dysgenesis who was found to have mosaicism with an XO line and a 46 line, with a morphological abnormality, probably of an X chromosome. In addition, there were unusual radiological and electroencephalographic features.

متن کاملUnusual maternal uniparental isodisomic x chromosome mosaicism with asymmetric y chromosomal rearrangement.
Infertile men with azoospermia commonly have associated microdeletions in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region of the Y chromosome, sex chromosome mosaicism, or sex chromosome rearrangements. In this study, we describe an unusual 46,XX and 45,X mosaicism with a rare Y chromosome rearrangement in a phenotypically normal male patient. The patient's karyotype was 46,XX[50]/45,X[25]/46,X,der(Y)(pter...
متن کاملChromosomal findings in 150 couples referred for genetic counselling prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
A total of 150 infertile couples underwent chromosome analysis and genetic counselling before intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Chromosomal abnormalities, including low-level sex chromosome mosaicism, were detected in 12% of the men and an unexpectedly high 6% of the women. Chromosomal abnormalities included gonosomal mosaicism in 13 cases, Robertsonian translocations in four males, auto...
متن کاملA patient with 45XO-48XYYY mosaicism.
Many cases of chromosomal mosaicism of the XO/XY type have been described. The phenotype of these patients has shown a wide diversity. In a recent review of 19 published cases in which the XO/XY sex chromosome pattern was established (Jackson, Hoffman, and Makda, 1966), 14 were apparently female and 5 male. The occurrence of XO/XYY mosaicism has been reported less often. Jacobs, Harnden, Buckto...
متن کاملCytogenetics of Premature Ovarian Failure: An Investigation on 269 Affected Women
The importance of X chromosome in the aetiology of premature ovarian failure (POF) is well-known but in many cases POF still remains idiopathic. Chromosome aneuploidy increase is a physiological phenomenon related to aging, but the role of low-level sex chromosome mosaicism in ovarian function is still undiscovered. Standard cytogenetic analysis was carried out in a total of 269 patients affect...
