In this study,eight cases of sex revelsal, including four 46, XX males and four 46, XY females aere examined for the presence of SRY sequence and a Y-repeated DNA locus. Our data indicated that the genownic DNA of the four classical 46,XX males had the SRY sequences. On the other hand, both SRY sequences and Ye repeated DNA sequences were present in all four 46, XY females.These resultssuavest that SAY sequences were responsible for the sexraversal of 46, XX males Whereas there may be other genetic mechanisms forthe sex reversal of 46, XY females Without the lack of SRY sequences.展开更多
