Lack of a Y-Chromosomal Complement in the Majority of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasms
Figure 2
Genotypes in representative trophoblastic tumor specimens. The presence of either the X or Y-chromosome in GTNs was determined by the analysis of three genes that have X and Y homologues distinguishable by their PCR product size; Amelogenin X and Y (AMELX and AMELY), Protein Kinase X and Y (PRKX and PRKY), and Zinc Finger X and Y (ZFX and ZFY). Arrows denote the Y chromosomal peaks.
