Why did an adolescent boy start growing breasts? And how did PCR help scientists solve the mystery? This video explains what PCR is and how it works - all in the context of how a team of scientists diagnosed an adolescent boy with an XX + SRY genotype. • • The research story from this video is based on this paper: • M. S. Kim, P. H. Hwang, D.-Y. Lee, A 46,XX Male Adolescent Presenting with a Chief Complaint of Gynecomastia. Pediatrics Neonatology 56, 357–359 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedneo.2015... • • In addition to using PCR, the scientists used Gel Electrophoresis to determine the patient's genotype - here is a video about Gel Electrophoresis: • • What is Gel Electrophoresis? • What is Gel Electrophoresis? • • Cartoon Illustrations by Michelle Lotker • Image of Kary Mullis by Dona Mapston – CC BY-SA 3.0 • • Follow me! • / youtoobio • Want YouTooBio in your Inbox?
