title: Testis-determining factor and Y-linked sex reversal.
abstract: A gene named SRY, isolated last year from the sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome, satisfies many of the criteria expected of the testis-determining factor gene. Mutations in SRY have been found in XY females, strongly implicating SRY as the testis-determining gene.
