  Introduction: Disorders or anomalies of Sex differentiation or Development (DSD),are congenital conditions during which the chromosomal, gonadal, and anatomical sexes are atypical. Cytogenetics and molecular genetics are essential in the classification of these variations by Karyotyping and searching for variants. Thus, we selected 2 patients of female civil status among those sent for diagnosis of a DSD and aim to do karyotype but also to verify the presence of the steroid genic region of the Y chromosome (SRY) by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Materials and methods: We proceeded to a peripheral venous blood sample in a heparinized tube for the karyotype, and another tube with Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid (EDTA) for DNA extraction to search for the presence of the SRY gene by PCR. Results: At the karyotype.. Read More»
