Adolescent Female With Turner's Syndrome and 46,X,der(Y) del(Y)(p11.2)del(q11.2) Karyotype With Gonadoblastoma and Dysgerminoma

Abstract: Gonadal dysgenesis patients with Y chromosomal material are subject to increased risk for germ cell tumors. We report a case of an adolescent female presenting with Turner-like syndrome with primary amenorrhea and Tanner stage 1 breast development. Karyotype showed one X chromosome and a minute pericentromeric fragment of Y chromosome without any functional Y genes in all the cells, unlike a mosaic pattern, represented as 46,X,der(Y)del(Y)(p11.2)del(q11.2). Laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy was performed due … Show more

“…The gonadoblastoma gene (GBY, gonadoblastoma locus on the Y chromosome) is the only oncogene located on the human Y chromosome. It plays a physiological role in normal male testicles and represents the role of oncogenes in hypoplastic gonads (3)(4)(5).…”

“…7 The presence of the gonadoblastoma (GBY) locus near the Yq centromere in 45,X/46,XY females predisposes to development of such neoplasms. 6,8,9 In particular, the Testis-specific Y-encoded protein 1 (TSPY) gene within the GBY region is thought to promote germ cell tumors in individuals with gonadal dysgenesis. 10 The dicentric nature of the Y chromosome in our patients may provide an extra copy of the TSPY gene, conceivably increasing the risk of neoplasia.…”
