Hae III restriction of DNA from three cases with nonfluorescent Y chromosomes (45XO/46XYnf)

Human Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Hae III restriction patterns are reported in three cases with normal-sized but nonfluorescent Y chromosomes (XO/XYnf mosaics). The 3.4- and 2.1-kb fragment classes of reiterated Y chromosomal DNA were not present in the three cases. Mechanisms leading to these findings are discussed.
