Two loci on the short arm of the human Y chromosome have recently been described as candidates for the testis determining factor (TDF); namely, ZFY, and a locus distal to ZFY, near the pseudoautosomal boundary. We have previously reported on seven 46,XX true hermaphrodites and one 45,X mixed gonadal dysgenesis case all presenting with testicular tissue in their gonads in the apparent absence of Y-specific DNA sequences. A reanalysis of these cases shows them all to lack ZFY, but one 46,XX true hermaphrodite carries sequences next to the Y pseudoautosomal boundary. This case provides further evidence for assigning the TDF locus very close to the pseudoautosomal region on Yp.

R-spondin (RSPO)1 is a fibroblast-secreted protein that belongs to the R-spondin protein family which is essential for reproductive organ development, epithelial stem cell renewal and cancer induction or suppression. RSPO1 gene mutations cause palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, 46XX sex reversal and true hermaphroditism. To characterize RSPO1-deficient skin fibroblasts derived from two patients with mutations in RSPO1, with palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, recurrent SCC and 46XX sex reversal, to provide further insight into disease-related skin tumourigenesis.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy affecting 46XX individuals of reproductive age. Cardinal features of PCOS include hyperandrogenism, irregular periods, and insulin resistance. Pathogenesis is unclear but likely involves hypothalamic, pituitary, or ovarian abnormalities leading to increased androgen production.

Background: Ovotesticular disorders of sex development is a condition defined as the presence of ovarian tissue containing ovarian follicles and testicular tissue containing seminiferous tubules in the same individual.
Case: We report on a 19-year-old who is phenotypically male, with a 46,XX/46,XY mosaicism karyotype, who presented later in life with cyclical abdominal pain that resembled menstrual cramps and unilateral undescended testes.
Summary And Conclusion: He underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy, resulting in cessation of his symptoms and improved sperm count.

Neonate with ambiguous genitalia can cause great apprehension for the family as well as for healthcare providers. We report a rare complication of delayed diagnosis of hernia uteri inguinalis in ovotesticular disorder of sexual differentiation (DSD) in 20-year-old male patient who presented with pain and swelling in left inguinal region since 1 month. He had a past surgical history of repair of hypospadias 10 years back.
