Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with transmission of a ring(Y) chromosome and ovotesticular disorder of sex development in offspring.

We present a newborn infant with ovotesticular disorder of sex development and sex chromosome mosaicism with a supernumerary ring(Y), and a normal female cell line (47,XXr(Y)[10]/46,XX[40]. The ring (Y) was inherited from the child's father, and was transmitted following assisted reproductive technology and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The father presented with infertility and oligospermia, but cytogenetic analysis had not been carried out as part of the infertility workup.

Craniosynostosis in Alagille syndrome.

Alagille syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder with primary involvement of the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes and facial structures, and demonstrates highly variable expressivity with respect to all of the involved systems. Alagille syndrome is caused by mutations in the Jagged1 gene. Jagged1 is a ligand in the Notch signaling pathway that has been shown to regulate early cell fate determination.
