Abstract
There is wide variation in the length of the Y chromosome. In the same individual the length varies continuously and is normally distributed. We describe a boy with borderline mental retardation, gross and fine motor coordination difficulty, muscle rigidity, ptosis, clinodactyly, and a Y chromosome of different lengths in two separate cell populations. The most probable explanation of the cytogenetic finding is a mitotic unequal sister chromatid exchange of the Y chromosome.Entities:
