    Abstract

    We report two siblings with 46XX hermaphroditism in whom we were unable to show the presence of Y specific DNA sequences using the DNA probes Y-190, GMGY-7, pHY2.1, pDP34, and 27a. We conclude that an autosomal or X chromosome gene mutation is the most likely mechanism of inheritance in this family with 46XX hermaphroditism.
