Figure 1.
The idic(Y)(q11.?21) chromosome from a male with hypogonadism that was mistaken by ~30% of participating laboratories for a normal Y chromosome. The karyotype was 46,X,idic(Y)(q11.?12)[17/]/45,X[13].ish idic(Y)(SRY++).nuc ish(DYZ3x2)[60/100],(DYZ1x0)[200]. (a) Representative idic(Y) chromosomes, each from a different metaphase. The dashed line represents the axis of symmetry. (b) For comparison, a structurally normal Y chromosome is shown. The dashed line is at the position of the centromere.
