Other findings

Note
In case 4, the breakpoint on X-chromosome was found to be more proximal between Xq11.2q-12 by FISH using androgen receptor probe

Fig 2: Case 4: X-centromere probe DXZ1 (green) hybridized to the normal X and the derivative X (arrows). The androgen receptor (Xq12) AR (red) probe hybridized to derivative 20 and the normal X (arrows). The breakpoint on the X chromosome is proximal to AR. The karyotype is 46,X,t(X;20)(q13;q13.3).ish t(X;20)(q11.2q12;q13.3)(wcpX+, wcp20+, AR_; wcp20+, D20S180_, AR+, wcpX+). The revised breakpoints identified with FISH analysis are highlighted in bold.
