A 45,X male with evidence of a translocation of Y euchromatin onto chromosome 15

W Schempp et al. Hum Genet. 1985.

Abstract

A 19-year-old male with azoospermia was found to have a 45,X karyotype with additional euchromatic material on 15p. The parents' karyotypes are normal. The cytogenetic data, the positive H-Y-typing, and the presence of Yp-specific restriction fragments detected in the proband's genome by molecular DNA probes suggest that the short arm of the Y chromosome, including part of the centromere, is translocated onto the nucleolus organizer region (NOR) of chromosome 15.
