PG - 1-7 AB - Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using biotin labeled X- and Y-chromosome DNA probes was utilized in the analysis of 23 sex chromosome-derived markers. Specimens were obtained through prenatal diagnosis, because of a presumptive diagnosis of Ullrich-Turner syndrome, mental retardation, and minor anomalies or ambiguous genitalia; three were spontaneous abortuses. Twelve markers were derived from the X chromosome and eleven from the Y chromosome; this demonstrates successfully the value and necessity of FISH utilizing DNA probes in the identification of sex chromosome markers. Both fresh and older slides, some of which had been previously G-banded, were used in these determinations. We have also reviewed the literature on sex chromosome markers identified using FISH.
