title: XY females with enzyme deficiencies of steroid metabolism. A brief review.
abstract: The literature on XY females with enzyme deficiencies (17 alpha-hydroxylase, 17 beta-reductase and 17, 20-desmolase) is reviewed. The main features of these individuals are briefly compared with those of XY females with pure gonadal dysgenesis and with testicular feminization.
