Translocation(X;Y)(p22.33;p11.2) in XX males: Etiology of male phenotype

摘要

Analysis of G-banded prometaphase chromosomes from three XX males revealed extra bands on the distal end of one X short arm. These bands were similar both in size and staining properties to the distal Y short arm of their fathers (in the two cases examined) and also to other chromosomally normal males. The extra material on the abnormal X chromosomes was not C-or G-11 positive in the two cases examined, suggesting that the proximal Y long arm was not present.
