Sex-Determining Region Y, Yp11.3 Deletion, FISH
Use
Detects the deletion or addition of the SRY gene in conjunction with conventional chromosome studies. It is used for detecting the presence or absence of the SRY gene in patients with specific karyotypes and phenotypically normal external genitalia, aiding in diagnosing 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development and 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis.
Special Instructions

Limitations
This test is not FDA approved and is recommended to be used alongside other established methods to confirm SRY deletions/duplications. It is not designed to detect low-level mosaicism and cannot substitute a complete cytogenetic analysis. Interfering factors such as improper specimen handling, excessive transport time, and contamination may affect results.
