Molecular detection of a translocation (Y;11) (q11.2;q24) in a 45,X male with signs of Jacobsen syndrome
Abstract
A 45,X karyotype was found in a boy with dysmorphic features, hypoglycaemia and pancytopenia. DNA analysis showed the presence of the Y-chromosomal DNA sequences SRY, ZFY, DYZ4, DYZ3 and DYS1. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization, we located DYZ4 and DYZ3 on chromosome 11qter and concluded that a de novo translocation (Y;11) (q11.2;q24) with a deletion of 11q24----qter and a deletion of Yq11.2----Yqter were present; Jacobsen syndrome and azoospermia are associated with these deletions. Signs of Jacobsen syndrome were observed in the patient.
