XY gonadal dysgenesis and the H-Y antigen
Tóm tắt
H-Y antigen was determined in 12 patients affected by XY gonadal dysgenesis. Of these, three proved to be H-Y negative, and nine, including two sisters, were H-Y positive; two of the unrelated positive cases exhibited a reduced antigen titer. Therefore, this clinical condition must be genetically heterogeneous. It is assumed that in the negative cases and possibly in those with reduced antigen titer, the H-Y generating system is affected by mutation, while in the regular positive cases the target cells are unable to respond due to a defect of the gonad-specific H-Y antigen receptor.
