title: Cytogenetic polymorphism or Y/15 translocation in a black male with ambiguous genitalia.
abstract: A black male with ambiguous genitalia was found to have presumptive Y/15 translocation (46,XY,der(15) ? t(15;Y) (13;q12.2). The proband inherited this translocation from his father. All banding techniques were utilized to determine whether this was a polymorphism or a Y/15 translocation. No definite conclusion was reached but the results of QFQ, RFA, CBG, and GTG banding techniques are highly suggestive of Y/15 translocation.
