Abstract

Dicentric Y chromosomes are rare in man. Four new cases of dicentric Y chromosomes are described. The cases of the literature so far reported are reviewed. Among the cases, a wide range of variation in phenotype, external genitalia, histology, and chromosomal findings was observed. The relationship of the clinical picture and structural abnormalities of the Y chromosomes is discussed.
