Y chromosome in Turner syndrome: review of the literature

Abstract: Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common types of aneuploidy among humans, and is present in 1:2000 newborns with female phenotype.Cytogenetically, the syndrome is characterized by sex chromosome monosomy (45,X), which is present in 50-60% of the cases. The other cases present mosaicism, with a 45,X cell line accompanied by one or more other cell lines with a complete or structurally abnormal X or Y chromosome. The presence of Y-chromosome material in patients with dysgenetic gonads increases the risk of… Show more

“…Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2012;56 (8) (2). While individuals with a 47,XXX or 47,XYY karyotype may have few or no physical or developmental problems, in monosomy and other polysomies, the clinical picture usually include growth disorders, primary hypogonadism and (or) multiple congenital anomalies; mental deficiency and behavioral problems are also frequent features in polysomies with more than three sex chromosomes (2-7) ( Table 1).…”

“…This is particularly true in TS, in which about 5% of the cases may have normal or structurally abnormal Y chromosome in the karyotype, e.g., 45,X/46,XY; 45,X/47,XYY; and 45,X/46,idic(Y) (8,9). Mosaicism with a 45,X cell line and a second cell line containing a normal or abnormal Y chromosome leads to a wide spectrum of phenotypes, including streak gonads and female genitalia, dysgenetic testes and sex ambiguity, and normal virilized male with infertility.…”

“…Normal male genitalia were found in 90% of cases of 45,XO/46,XY mosaicism, whereas a wide spectrum of abnormalities of external or internal genitalia were detected in the remaining cases, such as a Turner syndrome [10,18,21]. The karyotype of 45,XO/46,XY mosaicism is considered to be the loss by nondisjunction of the Y chromosome after normal disomic fertilization [19].…”

“…A presença de mosaicismo em baixa frequência pode não ser detectada pela técnica de citogenética clássica, pois esse tipo de análise requer um número grande de células. A aplicação de técnicas moleculares, como a hibridação in situ fluorescente (FISH) e a reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR), melhora substancialmente a detecção de linhagens celulares em baixa frequência e de possíveis alterações estruturais (9). Nazarenko e cols.…”

“…Tradicionalmente, é recomendada que a pesquisa de fragmentos do cromossomo Y na ST deva ser realizada em apenas duas situações: quando há sinais de virilização e/ou quando há a presença de cromossomo marcador não identificado pela citogenética clássica (9). No entanto, Canto e cols.…”
