## Abstract The gonadoblastoma (GBY) locus is the only oncogenic locus on the human Y chromosome. It is postulated to serve a normal function in the testis, but could exert oncogenic effects in dysgenetic gonads of individuals with intersex and/or dysfunctional testicular phenotypes. Recent studies
Gonadoblastoma is a rare tumor arising in the streak gonads of about 30% of 46,XY sex-reversed females. Because gonadoblastoma develops only in patiems who have Y-chromosome material and dysgenetic gonads, it has been hypothesized that positive expression of a gene (or genes) on the Y chromosome (GB
