45,X karyotype is rare in male. It may occur due to SRY translocation or an insertion to X/autosome. SRY gene translocation to chromosome 2 has been not reported in the literature. Clinical presentation can be varied due to degree of loss of chromosomal material. Due to loss of AZF region found on the long arm of the Yq, spermatogenesis can be affected. Loss of 2p25 leads to learning difficulty and obesity.
