A 45,X male with translocation of euchromatic Y chromosome material

Hum Genet. 1980;53(3):299-302. doi: 10.1007/BF00287044.

Abstract

A phenotypically normal 32-year-old male with azoospermia was found to have a 45,X karyotype with presence of excess euchromatic material on 14p. The parent's karyotypes are normal. This observation is interpreted as a Y/14 translocation with loss of the heterochromatic Y chromosome material.
