SRY gene transferred to the long arm of the X chromosome in a Y-positive XX true hermaphrodite

Abstract excerpt

Yp-specific sequences, including the testicular determinant gene SRY, have been detected and located in a 46,XX true hermaphrodite individual, using PCR amplification and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Among different Y chromosome loci tested, it was only possible to detect Yp sequences. The Y-centromere and Yq sequences were absent. Unexpectedly, the Y fragment was translocated to the long arm of one...
