Abstract

The clinical and genetic features of an intersexual Indian infant, found to be a hermaphrodite, are described. The parents insisted on rearing the child as a male, and so the internal female genitalia and the right ovarian gonadwere removed and the left scrotal testis retained. The karyotype was a mosaic of 46, XX and 47, XXY cell lines. The dermatoglyphs were grossly normal.
