X/Y translocation in a family with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis.

摘要

An X/Y translocation associated with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) was detected in a boy and in his mother. FISH analysis with specific probes for SHOX and SRY displayed no signal on the der(X), while one signal for SHOX was detected on the normal X chromosome in the mother, and one signal each for SHOX and SRY was detected on the normal Y chromosome in the proband.
