A number of individuals with aberrant Y chromosomes have been tested for the presence of Y-chromosome-specific reiterated DNA. These studies locate Y-chromosome-specific reiterated sequences on the long arm of the Y chromosome. Correlation with phenotype and other known Y chromosome markers establish that the Y-chromosome-specific reiterated DNA discussed here has no evident role in male determination.
