Using chromosome heteromorphisms and blood cell types as genetic markers, we demonstrated chimerism in a chi46,XX/46,XY true hermaphrodite. The pattern of inheritance of the chromosome heteromorphisms indicates that this individual was probably conceived by the fertilization, by two different spermatozoa, of an ovum and the second meiotic division polar body derived from the ovum and subsequent fusion of the two zygotes. This conclusion is based on the identification of the same maternal chromosomes 13, 16, and 21 in both the 46,XX and 46,XY cells of the patient. In the two cell lines of the chimera, chromosomal markers showed different paternal No. 9 chromosomes and sex chromosomes, as well as the same paternal chromosome 22.

Phenotypes linked to duplication upstream of SOX9: New insights into presentation and diagnosis.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Marmara University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, 34854, Istanbul, Turkey.
Context: Duplications occurring upstream of the SOX9 gene have been identified in a limited subset of patients with 46,XX testicular/ovotesticular differences/disorders of sex development (DSD). However, comprehensive understanding regarding their clinical presentation and diagnosis is limited.
Objective: To gain further insight into the diagnosis of a large cohort of 46,XX individuals with duplications upstream of SOX9.

Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
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.
Ovotesticular disorder of sexual development manifested as hematospermia: a case report and literature review.

Article Synopsis
- Ovotesticular disorder of sexual development (OT-DSD) is a super rare condition where someone has both testicle and ovary tissues, happening in about 1 in 100,000 people.
- The article talks about a 44-year-old man who found out he had OT-DSD after having some health issues, but he didn't get treated earlier because he grew up in a family that couldn't afford medical care.
- After some medical tests and surgery, doctors confirmed his condition, and he ended up doing well even though there were delays in his diagnosis.
Clinical and genetic characteristics of disorders of sex development in Sudanese patients.

Given the scarce data on DSD in Sudan, we aimed to characterize DSD's clinical and genetic profile in Sudanese patients. We studied 60 patients with DSD using clinical data, cytogenetics, and PCR for the SRY gene. The results showed that 65% grew up as females and 35% as males.
