RESUMO
A series of twelve XX males and their relatives have been examined by Southern blot analysis with fourteen different Y recombinants. The pattern of Y sequences present shows considerable variation between XX males. Furthermore, on the basis of the terminal transfer model, anomalous patterns of Y sequences are evident in certain XX males in that sequences located as proximal Yp by means of a Y deletion panel are found to be present in the absence of distal sequences. These anomalies can be resolved by proposing that the order of Yp sequences varies in the population in the form of inversion polymorphisms in the Y chromosomes of normal males. Alternatively, it is necessary to invoke multiple recombination events between the X and Y chromosomes to explain the patterns of Y sequences in these XX males. Southern analysis on DNA prepared from flow sorted X chromosomes of XX males indicates that the Y sequences in these patients are linked to X chromosomes.
