    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 2005 Oct; 25(10):945-8. PubMed ID: 16086437.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We report on a fetus with sex reversal and del(9)(p24) consequent to a malsegregation of a maternal balanced complex translocation involving chromosomes 7, 9 and 11. METHODS: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed in order to verify the presence of the SRY gene and the absence of DMRT1 and DMRT2 genes located in 9p24.3 region and frequently associated with sex reversal. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The prenatal karyotype revealed an unbalanced male fetus. The postmortem examination showed a malformed fetus with female external genitalia. Lack of DMRT1-2 genes established by FISH.
