Overview
Gonadoblastoma was first discovered by Dr. Scully in 1953. The association between GBY gene (GonadoBlastoma on the Y chromosome) and gonadoblastoma was made in 1986. In 1995, Tsuchiya found that the GBY gene located near the centromere of Y chromosome and contains multiple genes including Testis-specific protein Y-encoded (TSPY) gene.
Historical Perspective
- Gonadoblastoma was first discovered by Dr. Scully, an American pathologist, in 1953 following studying the pathology of a series of tumors suspected of being dysgerminomas.[1][2][3][4]
- This tumor is called gonadoblastoma since it looks like embryonic tissue, but in an indifferent way regarding sexual development.
- The association between GBY gene (GonadoBlastoma on Y chromosome) and gonadoblastoma was made in 1986.
- In 1995, Tsuchiya found that the GBY gene located near the centromere of Y chromosome and contains multiple genes including Testis-specific protein Y-encoded (TSPY) gene.
