    (FREUND PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2003) Mancilla, EE; Poggi, H; Repetto, G; Rumie, H; Garcia, H; Ugarte, F; Hidalgo, S; Jara, A; Muzzo, S; Panteon, E; Torrealba, I; Foradori, A; Cattani, A
    The presence of Y chromosome fragments in patients with Turner's syndrome is known to increase the risk of gonadoblastoma and virilization. Y chromosome material is detected in up to 6% of patients with Turner's syndrome by karyotype. By DNA analysis, Y chromosome sequences have been reported in 0-60% of patients. The putative gonadoblastoma gene has been mapped to the pericentromeric region of the Y chromosome increasing the interest in studying these sequences.
