Abstract excerpt
Because ring Y chromosomes are unstable during cell division most reported patients are mosaics, usually including a 45,X cell line. The phenotype varies from normal males or females with streak gonads to sexual ambiguities. We present here the case of a 23-year-old man who was referred at 11 years for growth delay. The GTG-banded karyotypes of lymphocytes revealed two cell lines: 46,X,dic r(Y) seen in 76% of the...
