46,XX/46,XY chimeric or mosaic is associated with a wide spectrum of different physical presentations, with cases ranging from having a completely normal male or female phenotype [7] [8] [9] to some cases having ovotesticular syndrome. Due to this variation, genetic testing is the only way to reliably make a diagnosis.
XX gonadal dysgenesis is a type of female hypogonadism in which the ovaries do not function to induce puberty in a person assigned female at birth, whose karyotype is 46,XX. [1] Individuals with XX gonadal dysgenesis have normal-appearing external genitalia as well as Müllerian structures (e.g., cervix, vagina, uterus).
The tip of the Y chromosome contains the SRY gene and, during recombination, a translocation occurs in which the SRY gene becomes part of the X chromosome. [15] [26] If a fetus is conceived from a sperm cell with an X chromosome bearing the SRY gene, it will be a genetic-male and will develop as a male despite not having a Y chromosome. This ...
In a normal situation, all the cells in an individual will have 46 chromosomes, with one being an X and one a Y or with two Xs. However, sometimes during the early copying processes of DNA replication and cell division, one chromosome can be lost. In 45,X/46,XY, most or all of the Y chromosome is lost in one of the newly created cells.

Pseudogenes are mutated copies of protein-coding genes that lost their coding function due to a disruption in their open reading frame (ORF), making them untranslatable. [28] They may be identified using one of the following two methods: [46] Homology-based method. Pseudogenes are identified by searching sequences that are similar to functional ...
Protein FAM46A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM46A gene. Aliases for Fam46A include HBV X-Transactivated Gene 11 Protein, C6orf37, and XTP11. [5] The gene contains 6 introns, and is 6982 base pairs long. [6] The transcribed mRNA is 2231 base pairs long and contains 2 exons, 589 and 1128 base pairs, with 4 alternative splice ...
