Three XX males, two XX true hermaphrodites, and an XY female were studied for possible deletions using probes for In view of the discovery of the SRY gene, we used probes spanning the region of the Y chromosome from the pseudoautosomal boundary to the ZFY gene to examine the DNA from six subjects: three XX males, two XX true hermaphrodites, and one XY female. Two of the patients, one XX male and one XX true hermaphrodite, reared as a male, are brothers and were studied previously with the ZFY probe.7Materials and methods
PATIENTSThe sporadic cases have not been published previously. The XY female is of Caucasian origin and the other three subjects are Brazilian.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
