Familial XX true hermaphroditism and the H-Y antigen.
Two 46,XX sibs, one of female, one of male gender, and both with ambiguous external genitalia and ovotestis, were H-Y positive. The mother was H-Y negative. It is assumed that the underlying mutation was transmitted by the father, resulting in an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. The common origin and the nature of the mutation leading to XX sex reversal are discussed.
