Y-derived sequences detected in a 45,X male by in situ hybridization.
A two-month-old boy with normal genitalia and descended testes was referred for a suspected hematological disorder. Cytogenetic analysis showed a 45,X chromosome constitution. In situ hybridization with the Y-derived probe 50f (provided by Professor Marc Fellous) was performed utilizing metaphase chromosomes to determine whether Y material could be detected. A significant amount of label (17 of 150 cells) was found on chromosome 5p suggesting a 5;Y translocation. This translocation was verified by high-resolution G-banded and G-11-stained chromosomes.
