Mosaicism and lack of fluorescence of Y chromosome

Obstet Gynecol. 1975 Sep;46(3):367-70.

Abstract

A patient with a female phenotype with XO/XY and possibly XYY mosaicism is presented. In all cells studied, there was no fluorescence of the Y chromosome. It appears that a tendency exists for an association of a defective Y chromosome with chromosomal mosaicism.
