OBJECTIVES: In most cases, XX or XY gonadal dysgenesis remains genetically unexplained. In this pilot study we searched for sex-chromosomal mosaicism in gonads of patients with XX or XY gonadal dysgenesis of undetermined origin.
STUDY DESIGN: Gonadal tissues were analyzed by cytogenetic and interphase fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) analyses in four patients with gonadal dysgenesis and normal female (46,XX) or male (46,XY) karyotypes in lymphocytes.
RESULTS: Cytogenetic and FISH analyses of the gonads demonstrated in three patients a sex-chromosomal mosaicism. Cytogenetic analysis of gonadal tissue of the fourth patient confirmed the result of the lymphocytes with 46,XX, but FISH analysis revealed in 17% of nuclei only one X-chromosome.
CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that sex-chromosomal mosaicism in gonads may be a frequent cause of gonadal dysgenesis despite of normal karyotypes in lymphocytes. Therefore, cytogenetic and FISH analyses of gonadal tissue can provide important information in unexplained cases of gonadal dysgenesis.
