46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis with non-fluorescent Y chromosome

Abstract
A 46,XY karyotype with a non-fluorescent Y chromosome was found in an infantile girl aged 16 with primary amenorrhea. Identification of the Y chromosome was made by different staining techniques and a photometric scanning method. The histology of the streak gonad indicated the Y character of the chromosome. A 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis with a non-fluorescent Y chromosome is suggested.
