PG - 77-9 AB - We report the unusual finding of velocardiofacial syndrome (VCF) in an unexplained 46,XX male. A microdeletion of 22q11.2 was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Routine G-banded chromosome analysis revealed an XX sex chromosome constitution. FISH was performed using the SRY probe and failed to detect hybridization. The sex chromosome status of the patient was further investigated by PCR testing to screen for the presence of 24 distinct loci spanning the Y chromosome. PCR screening failed to detect any apparent Y chromosome material. CI - Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. FAU - Phelan, Mary C AU - Phelan MC AD - Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory, T.C.
