Abstract excerpt
The difficulty of detecting sex chromosome mosaicism cytogenetically hinders the finding of an acceptable explanation for phenotypic-genotypic discrepancy amongst those patients. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) permits the genomic identification of patients with mosaic karyotypes in interphase nuclei by utilising an X chromosome-specific DNA probe (interphase cytogenetics). We evaluated the efficiency...
