The syndrome of 46,XX true hermaphroditism is a clinical condition in which both ovarian and testicular tissue are found in one individual. Both Mullerian and Wolffian structures are usually present, and external genitalia are often ambiguous. Two alternative mechanisms have been proposed to explain
## Abstract Male individuals with a 46,XX karyotype have been designated as XX males. In 80% of the cases, the presence of Yp sequences, including the male sexβdetermining gene, __SRY__, has been demonstrated by molecular and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses. In most cases, Yp
## Yp -specific sequences, including the testicular determinant gene SRY, have been detected and located in a 46,XX true hermaphrodite individual, using PCR amplification and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Among different Y chromosome loci tested, it was only possible to detect Yp sequen
