[Non-fluorescent Y chromosome in a 45,X/46,XY mosaic (author's transl)]. 1978

B Kaluzewski, and L Jakubowski, and T Moruzgala, and O Bjanid, and T E Romer

The case of a 18-year-old boy with small testes and deficient growth is reported. Histological examinations revealed an abnormal structure of the testicular tissue. The X chromatin test in buccal smears and the Y chromatin test in peripheral blood lymphocytes were negative. By chromosomal studies a 45,X/46,XY mosaicism was diagnosed. The Y chromosome did not show the typical fluorescence. Autoradiographic as well as Q- and G-banding techniques were performed in both the patient and his father. The patient's Y chromosome was shorter than his father's one, but longer than the non-fluorescent part of the paternal Y. The autoradiographic grain counts, Q- and G-band patterns showed a difference between the proband's Y chromosome and that of the father. The mechanism of the observed aberration is discussed.

D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
