✦ Synopsis
Cytogenetic analysis of a 20-year-old sterile male revealed a 45,X0 karyotype with no evidence for Y-chromosomal material on any of the chromosomes analysed by Q-, G-and C-banding. DNA analysis with 17 different Y chromosome-derived probes revealed the presence of Yp DNA sequences in the patient's genome. In situ hybridization with the Yp-derived probe pJA36B disclosed a translocation of Y-chromosomal material onto the short arm of a chromosome 22. location of Y-chromosomal sequences, including TDF, to an autosome can be found, generating males with a 45,X0 karyotype. The mechanisms leading to these Y;autosome translocations are still unresolved. Most of the XX-or X0-males are ascertained through sterility, abnormal or delayed sexual development or reduced body size. In the present study, we report the case of an azoospermic 20-year-old 45,X0 male in which Yp-sequences were translocated to the short arm of a chromosome 22.

A patient described as a 45,X male (Forabosco et al. 1977) was examined for the presence of Y-specific DNA by using various probes detecting restriction fragments from different regions of the Y chromosome. Positive hybridization signals were obtained for Yp fragments only. In situ hybridization wit
A 45,X complement was found in lymphocyte and fibroblast cultures of a male infant with severe growth and mental retardation and mild dysmorphism. Lymphocyte DNA from this patient was found to contain Yp chromosome sequences. In situ hybridization (ISH) with the 50f2 probe led to a clear assignment
