Abstract

Background: Sexual differentiation and development rely upon many genetic and environmental factors and any disruption of these can lead to Differences/Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs). DSDs are a diverse group of heterogeneous rare diseases that can be categorized into three main groups. 46,XY, complete gonadal dysgenesis is a subgroup of 46,XY, DSD that appears as female phenotype and external genitalia characterized by primary amenorrhea at adolescent. Case presentation: Here, we present a 14-year-old female patient with structural rearrangements of the Y chromosome including SRY gene duplication. These chromosomes were characterized by karyotyping, Oligo-array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and exome sequencing (ES). The mechanism(s) by which these rearrangements could have occurred is discussed. Conclusions: 46,X, idic(Y)(p11.32→q11.22:: q11.22→p11.32)] in this proband led to a large copy-number change including 24.5 Mb gain on the Yp11.32q11.223 region and a 33 Mb loss on the Yq11.223q11.23 region. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
