XXY Syndrome in Domestic Animals: Homologues to Klinefelter’s Syndrome in Man

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The detection, exploration, and utilization of animal models in human nosology is a prominent area of cooperation between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Of special usefulness to human medicine is the experimental animal which develops symptoms of syndromes homologous to those observed in human beings, and which thus appears to be suitable for diagnostic, etio-logic, pathogenetic, and therapeutic studies. Veterinary medicine, on the other hand, is primarily interested in the species-specific variations of pathological developments. In the field of chromosome research such investigations have created the special type of clinical research known as “comparative cytogenetics.” It is no accident that T. C. Hsu entitled his report on the history of cytogenetics (1979) “Human and Mammalian Cytogenetics”‘, again, “Mammals for Cytogenetics” was the title given to the chapter examining the role of mammals in chromosomal research. In this chapter, however, there was no mention of domestic animals.
