Abstract
Several DNA sequences from two homologous regions, localized on the distal part of the human X chromosome short arm and on the long arm of the Y chromosome, have been hybridized to DNAs from seven human-rodent hybrids containing human X; Y translocation chromosomes. Molecular characterization of the translocated chromosomes has revealed, in all but one case, transfer of the Y cluster of sequences and complete deletion of the corresponding X-chromosomal sequences. The possible role of X/Y homology in the aetiology of X; Y translocations is proposed.Entities:
