Abstract
We report on the prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with 46,XY and 46,XX cell li nes with a normal male phenotype, Cytogenetic and molecular studies ruled o ut the possibility of maternal cell contamination and showed that all the X chromosomes present in both fetal cell lines were derived from a single ma ternal X chromosome, This suggests 46,XY/46,XX mosaicism.
