The 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development (46,XX testicular DSD) is a rare phenotype associated with disorder of the sex chromosomes. We describe the clinical, molecular, and cytogenetic findings of a 16- and a 30-year-old male patient with sex-determining region Y (SRY)-positive 46,XX testicular DSD. Chromosomal analysis revealed 46,XX karyotype. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed the SRY region translocated to the short arm of the X chromosome. The presence of the SRY gene was also confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The X chromosome inactivation (XCI) assay showed that both patients have a random pattern of X chromosome inactivation. This report compares the symptoms and features of the SRY-positive 46,XX testicular DSD patients.

In newborns, it is an emergency to decide the appropriate sex for rearing and eventual prevention associated metabolic disturbances. The birth of a baby with ambiguous genitalia inevitably precipitates a crisis for the baby and its family. This retrospective analysis of hospital data was designed to determine the chromosomal and etiological diagnosis of children presented with suspected disorders of sex development (DSD) according to the newer DSD consensus document.

This study aimed to investigate the cause of primary infertility in a rare case with unilateral absence of vas deferens. A 35-year-old man was presented to the Infertility Clinic at the National Center of Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH) with an eight-year history of primary infertility. Clinical examination showed a normal intelligence with a coarse facial appearance and small testicles.

Background: Disorders of sex development (DSD) are rare conditions. Although they are known to predispose to germ cell tumors (GCT), there is a paucity of information regarding the circumstances of DSD discovery.
Design/methods: All patients with DSD registered in two French pediatric GCT protocols (TGM95 and 13) were analyzed.
