[Men with female karyotypes]

P M Kövary, H Niermann

    Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift Fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, Und Verwandte Gebiete
    |February 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    46,XX males are individuals with male physical traits and a female karyotype. This condition may result from autosomal gene mutations or Y chromosome translocations, not typically Y chromosome mosaicism.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Human Biology
    • Chromosomal Abnormalities

    Context:

    • Discusses the genetic and chromosomal basis of 46,XX males.
    • Explores hypotheses for this rare sex reversal condition.

    Purpose:

    • To review and discuss the potential genetic mechanisms underlying 46,XX male syndrome.
    • To evaluate the role of H-Y antigen and Y chromosome mosaicism.

    Summary:

    • Phenotypic males with a 46,XX karyotype present a unique genetic paradox.
    • Potential explanations include autosomal sex-determining gene mutations or Y chromosome gene translocations to autosomes or X chromosomes.
    • Evidence suggests Y chromosome mosaicism is unlikely to cause this condition.

    Impact:
