Recently, we reported the three wolves cloning with normal karyotype from somatic cells of endangered male gray wolves (Canis lupus), but one wolf had female external genitalia. In this study, we conducted further clinical, histological, and genetic analyses. This cloned wolf had a normal uterus but developed ovotestis. Through molecular analysis of the SRY gene, a mutation in the coding sequence of SRY gene could be excluded as a cause of intersexuality. This is the first report of a cloned wolf with a 78, XY ovotesticular disorder affecting sexual development characterized by bilateral ovotestes.

Background: Ovotesticular disorder of sex development is a rare form of disorder of sex development that manifests as ovotestis in individuals. The precise diagnosis and the choice of surgical procedures are still in conflict condition due to the rarity of the disease, diverse clinical presentations, and the lack of evidence-based medical studies on postoperative outcomes.
Case Presentation: We present a 46, XX ovotesticular disorder of sex development case, aged 19, with Prader stage IV virilization who underwent feminizing genitoplasty surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * The tumor identified was a sex cord-stromal (granulosa cell) tumor, and the heifer's sex chromosome type was confirmed to be XX, indicating an ovotesticular disorder of sexual development with female characteristics.
- * This case highlights that while disorders of sexual development are common in mammals, the occurrence of gonadal tumors in these conditions is infrequent and has not been previously documented in cattle.

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder affecting females characterized by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome. The pathogenesis of Turner syndrome primarily arises from chromosomal nondisjunction during gametogenesis, leading to various genotypic presentations. The most common genotype is 45, XO, representing a monosomy of the X chromosome.

Article Synopsis
- Disorders of Sexual Development (DSDs) involve unusual patterns in gonadal and genital development, occurring in about 1 in 5,000 live births.
- Individuals with DSDs may have a higher risk of developing cancerous tumors in the gonads and reproductive tract.
- This report highlights ovotesticular DSD (OT-DSD), which features both ovarian and testicular tissues, and shares a case of a 71-year-old phenotypically male XY patient who was diagnosed with aggressive peritoneal cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a common chromosomal condition in males, typically identified by a 47,XXY karyotype, and can be underdiagnosed; it can also appear as a mosaic karyotype (46,XX/47,XXY) in rare cases.
- The report describes a unique case of a six-month-old infant exhibiting both ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) and a mosaic karyotype, presenting with atypical genitalia including asymmetrical labioscrotal folds and varying reproductive structures.
- The findings reveal a complex interaction between genetics and development, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis based on atypical genitalia and suggesting that mosaicism should
