Abstract

Phenotypic features and functions known to depend on the presence of the Y chromosome or the H-Y antigen are discussed in relation to structural anomalies of the Y chromosome and other abnormalities of sexual and somatic development. Recent knowledge about molecular organization of constitutive heterochromatin in relation to the human Y is presented. An attempt is made at assigning different functions, genes and DNA sequences to different regions of the Y chromosome.
