چکیده

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 cryptorchidism, labial fusion, clitoromegaly, epispadias and hypospadias. It is the second most common cause of ambiguous genitalia in the neonatal period. We report a case of Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis with an inverted Y chromosome.

Dicentric 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 ...

Presumptive Y/D translocation in mixed gonadal dysgenesis.

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,...

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 ...

A male pseudohermaphrodite with a dicentric Y chromosome. Autoradiographic study.

A 13-year-old male pseudohermaphrodite (mixed gonadal dysgenesis, unilateral testicular differentiation) was found to be a chromosomal mosaic of the 45, X0/46, XY type, the Y chromosome being a symmetrical dicentric chromosome. Presumed ¥ chromosomes similar to this one have been observed before, but their identification was not supported by autoradiographic data. In the present study the ident...

Molecular 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...
